"A meticulously research historical novel. Bend Your Heads All is the Exciting, powerfully honest saga of the 1770 emigration to Tennessee and the eventual settlement of Nashville. More than that, in its sophisticated study of men who restlessly moved and women who had no choice but to follow, the novel is a magnificent tribute to the women who helped settle the West.
The story centers about one family -Adele and Set Overman and their children, Seanna, Getty, Jasper, Katydid, David, and Tommy. As Mrs. Farrar chronicles the hardships, the terrifying adventures, the incredible endurance of these people, each member of the Overman family contributes a memorable part of the total story. This includes the tragic experience of Getty, a victim of an Indian attack, the turbulent marriage of Seanna, and the mature romance of Adele and Seth Overman." - from book jacket
