Title: Cast A Road Before Me Genre:
Inspirational/Contemporary/Fiction Jessie Callum has her whole life planned out—down to the last detail. She’s heading for a social work career in Cincinnati. Driven by a dream of her dead mother, Jessie is determined to pursue the work her mother left behind. She leaves no room for love, error, or alternate course. God has other plans, however. What Jessie expects to be a restful summer in Bradleyville, Kentucky turns into a series of events that turn her world inside out. Discord at the local sawmill and an impending strike causes tempers to rise in the summer heat. If the mill closes, the townspeople stand to lose everything. Jessie focuses on her upcoming move, and tries to keep emotionally detached from the town’s trouble. But when she begins to lose her heart to Lee Harding, she finds detachment difficult to maintain. Jessie builds a friendship with Lee’s mother and pregnant sister. As the summer blazes on, Lee and Jessie’s uncle become embroiled in the bitter struggle between the workers and the sawmill owner. The situation becomes a virtual powder keg, and as things come to an explosive head, Jessie finds herself caught in the middle. Brandilyn Collins exquisitely captures the essence of small town life. Jessie’s emotional and spiritual struggles will keep readers glued to the pages. Cast A Road Before Me will captivate you through the to very last paragraph. | |
