The Last Feud and The Headmaster

SOUTHERN HISTORICAL FICTION

This wonderfully written historical fiction series captures the unforgettable struggles, dreams, failures, and triumphs of settler life in the Ozark mountains at the dawn of the 20th century. Life there was rugged and almost always unforgiving. The people and families who called these mountains and River’s Bend home were of hardy stock. They experienced great hardships and suffering, but they were gritty, tough, and stubborn (and faithful) too—and they persevered against even the bleakest of odds. Their inspiring lives and stories remind us that suffering builds perseverance, and perseverance builds character, and character builds hope—and hope, blessed hope, never disappoints.



THE LAST FEUD

Vangie Hatfield, a girl from a family that seemed determined to destroy itself, found life a struggle just trying to hold herself together. Living alone on the harsh, solitary mountain made that even more difficult. On another farm, hardly a half mile away, Gus McCoy struggled with a situation not of his making, and the last thing he wanted was another problem falling on his head.



THE HEADMASTER

Can a young man from the city find happiness and social acceptance as a teacher in a country school? If so, it could be because of the good and faithful help of Duke, the huge bloodhound that was forever at his side. However, the road to acceptance is rough and rocky.
