This wonderfully written historical fiction series captures the unforgettable struggles, dreams, failures, and triumphs of settler life in the Ozark mountains at the dawn of the 20th century. Life there was rugged and almost always unforgiving. The people and families who called these mountains and "Rivers Bend" home were of hardy stock. They experienced great hardships and suffering, but they were gritty, tough, and stubborn (and faithful) too-and they persevered against even the bleakest of odds. Their inspiring lives and stories remind us that suffering builds perseverance, and perseverance builds character, and character builds hope-and hope, blessed hope, never disappoints.
This seven-volume anthology series, with two authentically crafted novellas in each volume, was written by one whose parents lived in the Ozarks during this era. This series will grab your soul as it harkens back to an era of sacrifice and faith.

THE MIGHTY CEDAR & A FRIEND LOVETH AT ALL TIMES (Book 2 in the Ozark Mountains Historical Fiction Series)
The Mighty Cedar (A Novella)
The old man was on his deathbed after a long and productive life, and his aged wife sat in vigil beside his bed. Her own life had been spent in service to her husband, to others, and, when God insisted, to Him. She had one request as she neared the end of her life, and that request was not for something for herself. It was for her granddaughter. THE MIGHTY CEDAR shares the hopes, dreams, and final acceptance of a young girl who follows and sustains her husband through a long life of service while he follows his own calling. The trip leads to another state and another culture, but wherever he went, she would go, and his God was also her God, for as long as there was breath.
A Friend Loveth At All Times (A Novella)
Marybeth became entangled in her best friend's life, seeing no way to free herself and be loosed from a promise that attached itself to her like a bandage to a wound. She struggled to make sense of life by picking up the burden left by a friend, and the duty caused by the problem blinded her to the answer.
