Henry knows. He thinks he and Jesus can save me from myself.
Oh Hell. Folks wouldn't want her to be the one teaching their children. Sometimes I forget. Effie says that's because I'm self-centered and don't pay attention to what's happening around me, but I say its because I'm just good at minding my own business and maybe she should try it.
A stunning debut novel that offers a new look at a classic love story about soul mates torn apart by the circumstances of their time.
Catrina Dickinson is haunted by her past and feels caged in by life in small town Missouri. When she discovers a strange man in Stone Field where her family grows their sorghum crop, her life takes on new meaning. He has no memory of who he is or what brought him to Cat's farm, but they fall passionately in love. Meanwhile, the country is on the brink of the Civil War, and the conflict in Missouri demands that everyone take a side before the bloodbath reaches their doorstep.
A passionate and atmospheric reimagining of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, Stone Field explores how violence and vengeance perverts the human spirit, and how hatred can be transcended by love.
Boy, that beginning sure grabs ya. I'm always looking for a new author.
