Publisher Description
It’s 1946. Age ten, secretly a rescuer, Tricia Mae Haskins, daughter of the ruthless and vindictive Kentucky Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, is on the run! Having witnessed brutal injustice, torture and murder, she flees enemies intent on recovering the convicting evidence she carries.
Striving to get free and live a fruitful life, she faces challenges spanning ten tumultuous years, with heavy bounties on her head, and assaults against her mind, body and spirit. Tricia must decide to love or hate; forgive or take revenge; stay silent and live a hidden life; or risk her life and lives of those she loves, should she choose to stand and testify.
NOT WITHOUT SPIRIT weaves a tapestry of beliefs in action, hope in desolation, and courage to endure and transcend. Though pursued by enemies to seeming defeat, Tricia’s life moves from brutal assaults to a triumphant conclusion of purpose and love.
Follow Tricia cross-country, from the Whuppin’ Woods of Kentucky to the shores of the Pacific and back again, as she pursues the love, family and freedom of spirit for which she so longs.
Customer Reviews
This book is gripping from beginning to end.
This book is gripping from beginning to end. The suspense from chapter to chapter makes it difficult to put down. In some chapters the story is terrifying, in others, heart wrenching. You will laugh, cry, and want to scream, feeling a wide range of emotions. There are characters to love and characters to hate. The author so clearly describes each scene that you will feel like you are living it along with the characters. You will not be disappointed!
Powerful Moralist Storyline in Thriller Form
Most mystery novels contain a simplistic right v wrong underlying theme that is played out with complexity of characters. Ruth Ann Cramer has retained the complexity of her characters and brought in a deep moral theme to this very well written thriller. You will have great trouble putting it down, as the development of the story cuts through twists and turns right to the very end.
Most authors of this genre hit their stride at their third or fourth mystery book. Ruth Ann has accomplished an amazing depth of character development and plot creation rarely seen in a first published book.
