RIVER JORDAN A Novel Augusta Trobaugh Publishing to coincide with The Tea-Olive Bird Watching Society
Set in a small town well below the Mason-Dixon line, River Jordan features an improbable friendship among three people who come to depend on one another like family. Jordan, a girl with an adventurous imagination, is hungry for warmth and companionship, since she gets no more than scolding from her strict mother and stepfather. When Jordan''s step-grandmother, Miss Amylee, needs a live-in nurse, the family''s housekeeper suggests her sister, Pansy -- newly saved and released from prison -- for the job. Pansy, Jordan, and Miss Amylee form an unlikely trio, and through small and large triumphs, each recovers a part of herself that was lost.
