The Making of a Town

A Five-Volume Historical Fiction Series Spanning Life, Love, and the Atlantic.
Circa 1889–1922

VOLUME 3 Title: The Making of a Town

How can a Christmas Eve house fire in New York City have a profound effect on a corner of the mid-American prairie? Not only that, but the profundity of it all extended into WWI in Belgium, where the bloodiest battles of the war were fought in hand-to-hand combat.
Call To Arms—Book 4 in The Sheltering Stones series—continues the story of sweeping change in the Oklahoma Territory and the world as World War I erupts on the scene. The future turns cloudy for everyone in Carlile Corner and the surrounding communities. But when duty calls, young men in the Territory answer, including XXXX with a fresh “MD” added to his name. The problem is that war is messy and the wounds it inflicts are not always physical and don’t always heal. But sometimes they do—with the quiet love of another . . . and time.
Finally, let the mighty strength of the Lord make you strong. —Ephesians 6:10
