THE EDGE OF
TOWN
A journey with
the very human citizens
of Fertile, Missouri,
through the rule-breaking

Julie Jones was convinced that life was passing her by. Living on the edge of the town of Fertile, Missouri (Population 1802) in the year 1922, on a hilly, rocky, hard-scrabble farm, she felt immobilized by her responsibilities. Since her mothers death, four years earlier, Julie had been charged with running the household and raising her brothers, Joe, Jack, and Jason, and her sisters, Jill and Joy. All those “J” names, hers included, had been her mothers idea, prompted by her own name, June, and her husbands, Jethro. Wasn’t it bad enough, Julie wondered, to be poor, burdened, and isolated without names that were a town joke?

He was the only exciting thing to hit town—until the big flood came…

After the Parade
Rawlings, Oklahoma, 1945. Johnny Henry is coming home from the Pacific, and his estranged wife, Kathleen, secretly watches him step off the train to a hero’s welcome. Her heart races when she sees him; his breaks when he doesn’t spot her. Misunderstanding and tragedy had destroyed their marriage right before he shipped out. Now Johnny’s pride will keep him from confessing how wrong he had been; now Kathleen’s hurt will stop her from running into his arms. But when a disturbed stalker plunges Kathleen into a real-life nightmare, her only hope is Johnny—and a love that can bring two hearts through every battle, especially the one within.
