Welcome...
To Hope-Inspired Stories, for anyone who'd like to discover more about books and stories that uplift and encourage.
Several years ago, while teaching high school art, I discovered I was as thrilled as my students when they won awards or were acknowledged for their accomplishments, and that promoting other people's good works was very gratifying.
So it is my hope you are blessed with a message of grace as I was, through the words of authors featured here. Please join me in welcoming writers of fiction, nonfiction, and devotionals; of romance, mystery, historical and contemporary stories as they share their work.
Historical Romance stories released in the second half of the year will be hi-lighted through the month of August...
This week it is my pleasure to present "In High Cotton" written by Ane Mulligan. A timely story about a woman who, finding herself in desperate straits, must survive the Great Depression.
- Publisher: Heritage Beacon Fiction
- Publication Date: August 3, 2020
While the rest of the world has been roaring through the 1920's, times are hardscrabble in rural South Georgia. Widow Maggie Parker is barely surviving while raising her young son alone. Then as banks begin to fail, her father-in-law threatens to take her son and sell off her livelihood—the grocery store her husband left her.
Can five Southern women band together, using their wisdom and wiles to stop him and survive the Great Depression?
