GIFTS FROM THE CATALOG (A Novella)
Through a series of unusual events, a girl from St. Louis finds herself on the train leaving St. Louis and heading into the hills of Arkansas—a place that seemed like a foreign country. Reason told her she should turn around and go back where she belonged, but where did she actually belong? The Rock Island Line stretched on with Rosalie aboard the locomotive. Would the tiny town of River Bend be the final stop?
CABIN OF THE CARVER (A Novella)
Only old Granny Nelson was old enough to remember the mysterious circumstances surrounding the tiny log building (often called Old Man's Cabin). The tiny structure seemed to have been built in a night by a ragged old man who brought Christmas toys to the children of the small town. Just as mysteriously, he had disappeared, leaving the tiny log house. Now, nearly five decades later, the cabin still clung to the banks of the rushing river as if inviting renewed occupancy. And the river, which swept all things downstream, allowed a special family to be brought upstream to make their new life in River Bend.
