A pretty, single woman in the Old West where there is a shortage of women would surely cause heads to turn, as well as garner some serious suitors. As soon as Marissa steps off the stage, every man in Hunter’s Grove is mesmerized. Three likely suitors are bold enough to throw their hats in the ring for her attention: Cole, her aunt’s attorney, Alan, her farmer neighbor, and Nash, a neighboring sheep-ranch owner. Since her aunt left an unusual stipulation to her will, Marissa finds herself forced to choose one of them to marry.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
This beautifully constructed family saga spans three generations set all within the macabre world of the civil war era American funeral industry where weepers, warners, death photographers and the new practice of embalming the dead dwelled. For generations, the women of the Fenn family have been traditional “weepers”; paid mourners who attend wakes and weep for the dead. Their counterparts, the men of the True family, are undertakers, or “warners.”

Publisher's summary
When Celey Dobbs met Daniel Tilman, was it chance or God that brought them together in the unsettled region of Scott County, Arkansas?
We first met Celey in the story of Emma, her granddaughter. Now join Celey and her family as they journey through the untamed prairies of Illinois, the violent beginnings of the state of Arkansas, and the wild frontier of Texas. Celey's story is based on letters written by the author's maternal Great-great-great-grandmother, detailing events in her life.
"A slow rain fell as Celey walked from the graveyard, her tears mingling with the tears of God. In the distance, she saw Tom Anderson. Her heart raced, and her anger flared. How dare that rotten scoundrel show his face here!"
Much of the story is fiction but as always, threads of truth are woven through the tapestry. It is up to the listener to decide what is fact, and what is fiction. Celey is a heartwarming story of family and faith. Filled with laughter and tears, it offers a well-rounded experience for the listener. Celey's adventures don't end in Arkansas—join the family as they move to Texas and the stage is set for the story of Melinda. Be prepared to laugh, cry, cheer on the good guys, and root against the bad guys. Celey has it all!

Near the end of her life, Mary Mann Hamilton (1866-c.1936) was encouraged to record her experiences as a female pioneer. The result is the only known firsthand account of a remarkable woman thrust into the center of taming the American South - surviving floods, tornadoes, and fires; facing bears, panthers, and snakes; managing a boardinghouse in Arkansas that was home to an eccentric group of settlers; and running a logging camp in Mississippi that blazed a trail for development in the Mississippi Delta.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 618
Near the end of her life, Mary Mann Hamilton (1866-c.1936) was encouraged to record her experiences as a female pioneer. The result is the only known firsthand account of a remarkable woman thrust into the center of taming the American South - surviving floods, tornadoes, and fires; facing bears, panthers, and snakes; managing a boardinghouse in Arkansas that was home to an eccentric group of settlers; and running a logging camp in Mississippi that blazed a trail for development in the Mississippi Delta.

In the home where Arabella Godwin was raised it is forbidden to speak her name, and her picture is turned to the wall. But in the turbulent America of the 1850s, everyone knows her as "Belle Cora", madam of San Francisco's finest bordello. Judges and senators do her bidding; a vicious newspaper editor plots her downfall; a preacher looks at her from across his pulpit and tries to forget that once she was his wife. Merchant's daughter, farm girl, prostitute, mother - the only thing that never changes is her tireless pursuit of the one man who can see her for who she really is.

In 1906 I was barely over 14 years old, and it was my wedding day. My older sister, Helen, came to my room, took me by the hand, and sat me down on the bed. She said, "You've always been a good girl, Maude, and done what I told you. Now you're going to be a married woman, and he will be the head of the house. When you go home tonight after your party, no matter what he wants to do to you, you have to let him do it. Do you understand?"
