The touching life story of Sam West, Mrs. Corley’s father, a missionary Baptist minister who wandered with his large family through the backroads and hills of southwestern and southeastern Oklahoma preaching and establishing churches for more than a half century.

The title comes from the masthead of publications that he wrote, printed in his garage print shop, and distributed through the years. Each chapter features an essay, taken from tracts edited by her father around which she has woven chapters about his dedicated and unusual life as a preacher and teacher in the Baptist ministry.

Echoes From The Hills appeals to readers not only as a history of rural missionary work in Oklahoma, but also as a reference book for devotionals and as inspirational reading.
