Murder on Tumbling Creek is a biographical work depicting the circumstances surrounding the murder of a Tumbling Creek farmer, John T. Peeler, in the August of 1918. The crime occurred in the former Crowell Community which has afterward been more commonly referred to as ÒPoplar GroveÓ in consequence of the Crowell familyÕs involvement with the Peeler-Crowell case. It was an ÒassassinationÓ and Òone of the most brutal murders in TennesseeÓ according to the Peeler family in a letter to the press dated November 1918. Elvis Crowell was accused of committing the crime, but popular belief suggests that it was his uncle, Lee Crowell. At the time, in 1918, Peeler had actively campaigned with John Mark Gray against Lee Crowell as candidates to become a Justice of the Peace (also called county magistrate).

The May 2, 1919, issue of the Dickson County Herald remarked of the occasion of State Vs. Crowell as the climatic response to the Òmost heinous cold-blooded murder to ever be committed in Humphreys County.Ó Murder on Tumbling Creek will feature the key excerpts from the trial proceedings accompanied by commentary. Additionally, a host of supplemental resources have been included among which are documents relating to Mormon missionaries in Tennessee, the Civil War in Humphreys County, and never before seen photographs/maps.

Murder on Tumbling Creek seeks to better document the rich history of that part of the world called Poplar Grove which is beloved by many today by examining the events leading up to and after the murder. ÒThis is not just a story about a murder but of a people and a community that was forever impacted,Ó writes Stewart, ÒIf we are to extrapolate meaning from any of it, the story must be written and the history passed down, both the good and the bad.Ó

Drama Free For Sure!
Format: Kindle
Nedra Glover Tawwab is a New York Times bestselling author, a licensed therapist, and a sought-after relationship expert. This book is a therapeutic and educational tool that addresses how to consciously change behaviors you’d rather not have in relationships, specifically, around your family. For those of us who have delved into the self-help book world, this is an in-depth, thorough refresher, focusing on family dynamics. Nedra’s core belief is that relationships contribute to mental health. They can cause you pain or they heal you. She focuses on taking your relationships seriously and teaches the art of having tough but intentional conversations to create positive change. OR you’ll learn how to sever ties when the relationship is unmanageable. None is more influential than the formative years we’ve had with our family of origin. A lot of people lament that not everything is about the family, but yup, so often it’s true. In childhood, most likely we weren’t allowed to be ourselves, so our true selves started to develop when becoming an adult. Like a butterfly using its colossal strength to break out of its chrysalis, we too must use our emotional colossal strength to break out of our childhood mold in order to fly. We are able to have relationships with family on our terms.

Insightful and Compassionate.
Format: Hardcover
I really love Nedra Glover Tawwab's work. I started with "Set Boundaries, Find Peace" and that opened the gateway to a broader and more helpful healing journey for me. This book, "Drama Fee" was just an evolutionary step in her series and a more in depth dealing with family relationships. The different perspectives for each chapter on how the concept can be applied was/is helpful as it often feels like books of this nature are only telling the black or white way to focus on a relationship. I felt seen and heard that though my familial relationships are unique there are commonalities and in turn ways to approach healing, reconciliation (with oneself and with family), understanding and compassion, to a achieve drama free relationships. As humans we are bread for connection and I appreciate Nedra Glover Tawwab's help in navigating them.
