"This well-told and inspirational romance novel moves at a quick pace and grabs the reader right from the first paragraph. We see the story from Amanda's perspective, and so we have a front row seat, getting into her head-we feel her fear, sadness, and tension as she tries to survive the constant stress of her relationship." - Writers' Digest review of An Angel for AmandaYou've already read An Angel for Amanda and Jason's Journey; now you are ready for the next book in this series for your enjoyment.

When Rita Williams was four, her mother died in a Denver boarding house. This death delivered Rita into the care of her aunt Daisy, a headstrong woman who had married the most prominent black landowner in Nebraska and spirited her sharecropping family out of the lynching South. They reinvented themselves as ranch hands and hunting guides out West. But one by one they slipped away, to death or to an easier existence elsewhere, leaving Rita as Daisy's last hope to right the racial wrongs of the past and to make good on a lifetime of thwarted ambition. If the Creek Don't Rise tells how Rita found her way out from under this crippling legacy and, instead of becoming "a perfect credit to her race," discovered how to become herself. Set amid the harsh splendor of the Colorado Rockies, this is a gorgeous, ruthless, and unique account of the lies families live-and the moments of truth and beauty that save us.
