The year is 1888; Copper is a young widow with a baby trying to make a go of the ramshackle farm she received from her father in Troublesome Creek. Copper’s life seems as dilapidated as the farm as she struggles to come to terms with her shattered world. Desperate to rekindle the easy faith she had as a child, she searches for peace and God’s direction in the serenity of the Kentucky mountains. Further complicating her life is a budding romance with John Pelfrey, Copper’s long ago sweetheart. Once sure she could never love again, Copper gives her heart to John only to face betrayal. A skilled midwife, Copper is challenged in many ways as she ministers to the women of eastern Kentucky. Always a believer, Copper still has much to learn as she grows in wisdom and in faith.

I received a copy of Torrent Falls at the Christian Writers Guild Craftsman Residency in Manitou Springs, CO. I loved the rich imagery and the colloquial expressions. I look forward to reading more of your books now that I’ve discovered your talent.
How wonderful to win the Jerry Jenkins First Novel Contest. That would be a dream come true!
Connie, Thank you for this note. Yes, it was a wonderful moment when I won the Jerry Jenkins Christian Writers Guild Contest.
Many blessings on your writing.
I have read the first three books in the series. I loved them and couldn’t put them down until I was finished. I know that John found his grandmother’s ring while looking for Remy, but was Simon’s ring and the little basket necklace with it?
I have read 3 of your books and am trying to find Sweetwater Run and Torrent Falls.They are a wonderful read and I love the downhome way of life and the Christian beliefs they hold.You are a very gifted writer and I want to thank you
