During the 1940s in rural communities, housing was not plentiful. Young married couples did not have many options of where they could live to start their lives if building a home was not an option. Billy Ray, a child being raised by his grandparents, realizes the difficulty his grandparents endured as a result of not having housing choices. The stories his grandfather shared echoed within him and left an everlasting imprint. Mystery at Bluebonnet Plantation brings readers into a Christmas celebration that takes place on a family farm where everyone is startled by the news of a strange event that repeatedly occurred in an old house rented by Josephus and Martha Brown. As a result, family members are profoundly reminded of the importance of those who make life worth living.
