Pillars & Porches

Southwood is a fictional antebellum collection of buildings that houses conferences, seminars, bed & breakfast, a clinic where broken families work toward wholeness and a church that meets in a railroad depot.
The staff includes a former New Orleans stripper, a cop/pastor, a family from Sudan, business people, a television evangelist, visionaries and a touring singing group. This eclectic gathering specializes in mending the depressed, divorced, drugged, abused, abandoned and many whose dreams are paused.
Pillars & Porches is the prequel to eight ebooks and journey-shifting experiences. This is the story of how the Southwood Mansion was built and how the vision of community survived natural disasters and disappointments. How Southwood became The Community You've Always Wanted.
