Woven Branches Book 3: The Book of Ruth - OUT NOW!
Six months have passed since Noeware, Georgia experienced the most violent crime in its history and things are beginning to settle down- or are they?
Billy Washington is coming to grips with his friend Allison Edwards’ return to her home in Atlanta. His mother Cora seems preoccupied as her eldest son returns home from a missionary trip. Mama Jo is as ornery as ever, and Ruth Blakely is reflective following the loss of one of her dearest friends.
The Washington/Blakely family takes center stage in a story that spans six decades.
If a woman is going to be called “Ruthless”, there’s gotta be a backstory…
