- Janice_Woods_Windle abstract "Janice Woods Windle is an author of historical novels. She grew up in Seguin, Texas and currently lives in El Paso, Texas with her husband and family.Windle's novels, True Women, Hill Country, and Will's War are based on extensive research into her ancestors. On the first page of True Women the author says, "The vivid stories of the women in my family had been passed down mother to daughter, grandmother to granddaughter, aunt to niece and even father to daughter, for six generations..." In the introduction to her True Women Cookbook, on pages IX through XI, the author tells how an idea for a collection of family recipes as a wedding present for her son grew into the novel that came out before the cookbook did. True Women is written in three parts, a sweeping saga of women caught up in the passions and actions their times, from the Texas Revolution and the Civil War until the end of World War II. The book has been published in eight different languages. On the book jacket, James A. Michener said Windle "performed a family miracle ... She recalls vivid scenes from her family's past, but also weaves them into a well-constructed novel."The novel was the source for a Hallmark Entertainment miniseries of the same name that originally aired on CBS in 1997. It starred Dana Delany, Annabeth Gish, and the as-yet-unknown Angelina Jolie. Supporting actors included Tina Majorino, Michael Greyeyes, Michael York, Charles S. Dutton, Julie Carmen, Powers Boothe. True Women was filmed on location in Central Texas.Her second novel, Hill Country, is based on her father's mother, Laura Hoge Woods. A determined and independent woman, her life began in frontier days and overlapped the childhood and career of her neighbor's son, Lyndon Baines Johnson. Windle's third novel is Will's War is largely a courtroom drama, based on the life of her mother's father, a German-American. Active in the farmers' union movement, Will Bergfeld was swept up in ethnic troubles when war with Germany broke out. He was put on trial in federal court along with dozens of other activists. Windle obtained the 80-year-old trial transcript and wove it into a dramatic climax.For many years, Windle was President of the El Paso Community Foundation. She attended the University of Texas in Austin where she was a member of Alpha Phi women's fraternity, before taking her degree from UT El Paso.
