I don't know you might be mixing this up with another story. Walker Percy is the author who got COD published, as I recall in his forward the mother was very enthusiastic about publishing it, and shopped it around for years in an effort to get it published. I seem to remember Percy writing he felt he may have been one of the only ones to read it, because anyone who did would have recognized the book's brilliance.

No Motex -what you recounted is the story for Confederacy, but it's kind of the opposite for Neon Bible. Toole's mother did her best to prevent it from being published - and managed to, til her death.
