Emily

by Jo Ann Snapp

Overview

Sixteen year old Emily Rains is torn between passion and real love, between what she dreams of and what seems to be changing as she prayerfully takes hesitating steps into adulthood.

Emily's best friend from childhood, Angeline Simpson, appears to have no problem fitting into her expected role of a 1923 young woman. She falls in love without doubts and confusion with the one man she desires to wed for a lifetime. But Emily? No longer a child, but not yet a woman, Emily is opinionated about her friends and about her future as a horse rancher. She'd like to please her parents but is conflicted when what they want is not in line with her dreams.

Three years in a finishing school back East gave Emily Rains' parents, Joshua and Abigail, hope that the tomboy ranch hand would be converted into a genteel young lady. Though she returns at sixteen very feminine, Emily still wants her own horse ranch and her choice of friends. Her brothers work for the homestead ranch, her brothers choose their own friends and she cannot understand why her father will not allow her to do the same.

A sudden change in her father's stand against giving her full freedom at first brings joy then suspicion. Is Emily unknowingly playing into her parents plans for her future, or is Godly guidance beyond her understanding taking control?

About the Author

Jo Ann Snapp is an Arkansas author of fiction. She has been writing books since she was around nine years old. After a long career in retail and logistics she has taken up the mantle to get some of her work out to readers. Her first book, a historical novel, A Reconciled Heart, was well received and she recently released Emily, a sequel to her first book.

Whether historical, contemporary, mysteries or romances all her writing is from a Christian perspective so you can be assured a clean read even if some of the subject matter is controversial. Some of her work is inspirational, some of her work is just plain good storytelling. Don't be timid to tell her what you think.

Jo Ann lives in Mountain View, Arkansas and the area has inspired her Norma Jean's Mystery series of which at this time, four are for sale with others to follow. She just as quickly can change to a story about a returning Vietnam Veteran, so even though the publishing world suggests sticking to one genre, to Jo a story is a story that needs to be told.
