Rebecca's Crossing Book
Blurb:
“I can
take care of myself!” Rebecca snapped, slamming the derringer onto the shelf
beneath the counter top.
At
nineteen, Rebecca Cunard, youngest child of Pastor Eli and Fay Cunard, is a
feisty and fiercely independent young woman, more at home in her prospector’s
garb than the lacy dresses she wears to work each day at Joe Master’s
mercantile store.
One
fateful day, her rash words force her to flee from home under the cover of
darkness. Under the watchful eye and protection of Hobie Masters, her
faithful childhood friend, Rebecca sets out on a journey that will take her
from Placerville, California—almost three thousand miles—to Independence,
Missouri, and the safety of Serenity Inn and her brother Caleb.
As she
leaves, Fay Cunard reminds her daughter that “as strong as you think you may
be, you need to let others help you. Your biggest flaw is thinking you don’t
need help from others. But you do, especially from God.”
On the
brutal twenty-four day trip, Rebecca makes friends with her fellow travelers,
including the charming Bo Devers from Tennessee. Aggie, a motherly
type notes the growing attraction between Rebecca and Bo and sagely observes,
“Never forget that no matter how brilliantly new brass shines, it ain’t gold
and never will be.”
Set in
1859, Rebecca’s Crossing is the uplifting story of a young woman who
struggles to accept that trust is not a sign of weakness, and that surrendering
to God is the surest way to accomplish all things in His strength. It’s Book 8
in The Serenity Inn Series. Each book
stands alone.
Kay Rizzo says:
I especially enjoyed gathering the research that goes into these historical fiction books. I just published Northern Lights, a WWII spy adventure set in Alaska. My latest book, A Prodigal Daughter, a true story set in the San Joaquin Valley will be released next month. It deals with human trafficking.
