Secret Places

After nearly losing her dreams and those she loves to an Oklahoma tornado, Jessie Belle Howell finds this is the least of her worries. She and her sister face the trial of caring for their younger siblings and father as their mother succumbs to mental illness. The sisters soon learn that there are secrets lurking in the shadow of Mt. Webster. In the whirl of confusion, Jessie can't deny her attraction with Kenneth Morgen, the handsome young farmer who has caught her eye. Kenneth has dreams of his own and works diligently to build the family farm into the legacy he believes will capture the young woman of his heart. But---secrets abound...and they are about to tear apart the fabric of their lives. Will Jessie and Kenneth find the answers to their dreams? Or will they forever be torn from the dreams they hold so dear? And where will they find the strength to endure what lies ahead? "Secret Places" is a mixture of the rollicking antics of the truer-than-life characters and the real-life struggles of scraping a living from the sometimes unforgiving red soil of southwest Oklahoma in the early 1900's. It is a story of the human heart and its search for the secret place it can finally call home.
