THE GHOST OF BERTHA MAE

by

Carolyn Parnell

Yvette Hardin was born to a narcissistic mother who detested her from the moment she entered the world. Over the years, her mother, Bertha Mae, began to strike, curse, belittle, neglect, and demand Yvette do household chores. 

When Yvette had time to be alone, she prayed that her mother, Bertha Mae, would not scream her name, demanding her to get her stinky, lazy behind up and cater to her. She daydreamed about a better life and prayed that one day her mother would love her. 

Several days after Yvette graduated high school, her mother died, leaving her without an answer, and feeling lost. Frightfully, she wasn't finished taunting her.

Murder In The Delta

 

Murder In The Delta Author: Belinda Stevens

A Tragic Tale of Betrayal and Chaos in the Mississippi Delta

In the airless heat of the 1950s Mississippi Delta, where life unfolds at a slow, rhythmic pace but secrets simmer just beneath the surface, one family’s story takes a shocking and unforgettable turn. Murder in the Delta by Atty. Belinda Stevens unravels the deeply disturbing events leading to a brutal crime that shattered lives and left a community grappling with its darkest fears.

Michael Ferriday, a young man on the verge of adulthood, struggles with his place in a world that seems determined to deny him both freedom and happiness. Raised amid familial discord and emotional neglect, Michael harbors unfulfilled dreams and unresolved rage. His life takes a sinister turn as he becomes consumed by the voices in his head and the mounting pressures of his environment. When love, rebellion, and mental instability collide, Michael’s fractured psyche reaches a breaking point, and an unthinkable tragedy unfolds in a quiet, unsuspecting town.

"A gritty and masterfully written psychological thriller, Atty. Belinda Stevens’ Murder in the Delta captivates readers from the first page and holds them in a relentless grip until the final word."

- Greg P.

This harrowing tale takes readers beyond the crime scene and into the heart of a small Southern community rocked by betrayal and violence. Through the eyes of neighbors, law enforcement, and the Ferriday family, Murder in the Delta explores the complex relationships and circumstances that led to an explosive act of brutality. It sheds light on the societal norms and generational conflicts of the era while confronting themes of mental health, justice, and redemption.

As Michael stands trial for the heinous act, the courtroom becomes a stage for drama, anguish, and a desperate search for answers. Was Michael a victim of his circumstances, or was he simply beyond saving? The defense, led by a determined lawyer grappling with his own moral dilemmas, seeks to uncover the truth about a boy whose actions defy explanation. In the process, the case stirs deep-seated emotions in a town where innocence and guilt become tangled in a web of fear and outrage.

Richly atmospheric and deeply evocative, Murder in the Delta is more than a recounting of a crime—it is a haunting exploration of humanity at its most fragile and fractured. Belinda Stevens masterfully invites readers into a world of love and loss, rage and redemption, and the enduring questions of what drives a person to commit the unthinkable.

Discover the gripping story that will leave you questioning the nature of justice, forgiveness, and the darkness that lies within us all. What truly happened on that fateful day in the Ferriday home? And as the trial captivates the nation, can the truth ever truly be uncovered?
