Kinsman Redeemer Sutter's Landing, Book 2, (Paperback)

Still reeling from tragic losses, Connie and Annabelle Cross face life with their signature humor and grace, until fresh hope arrives on their doorstep.In early spring of 1955, Annabelle Cross and her daughter-in-law, Connie have nearly made it through the first winter on their own. Then the skies open up as West Tennessee and much of the south endures one of the worst floods in history. Add to that Annabelle's growing dread over Connie's upcoming marriage and removal to Sutter's Landing. Though she's happy to note the growing affection between Alton Wade and her daughter-in-law, their marriage means Annabelle will be alone for the first time in her life. While Annabelle keeps a cheerful outlook, and seems enthusiastic about the wedding, Connie worries that she and Alton are making a mistake. Her doubts increase when Alton's bigoted brother Jensen uses every opportunity to drive a wedge between them. Is she doing the right thing? Did she move too quickly? Unexpected summer visitors and anticipation for a new neighbor provide diversion and offer interesting possibilities for both Annabelle and Connie.
