Blackwater Creek

Life in Blackwater, Texas has always worked for Ludie Blackwell. Small town life means being part of a loving circle of family and friends. She overcame the loss of both her parents when she was a small child and has always struggled with self-consciousness from her slightly visible birth defect and her unbearable shyness around those she doesn't know well. She has resigned herself to being unlikely to ever find love, but when a fiery blaze brings sophisticated businessman Eric Butler into town and right into her life, she finds herself reconsidering the possibilities. Balancing her time between her job as a waitress at the Ladybird Café and her new job in a candle-making shop, she finds time to appreciate the blessings in her life. When the delicate balance is upset by the worldly and confident Eric, Ludie discovers that if a relationship seems too good to be true, it probably is. A broken heart isn't the only casualty and when she finds her life in danger, it takes love and support from some very unexpected sources to bring her through her biggest challenge yet.
