When Celey Dobbs met Daniel Tilman; was it chance or God, that brought them together in the unsettled region of Scott County, Arkansas? We first met Celey in the story of Emma, her granddaughter. Now join Celey and her family as they journey through the untamed prairies of Illinois, the violent beginnings of the state of Arkansas, and the wild frontier of Texas.

Celey's story is based on letters written by the author's maternal Great-great-great-grandmother, detailing events in her life.

"A slow rain fell as Celey walked from the graveyard, her tears mingling with the tears of God. In the distance, she saw Tom Anderson. Her heart raced, and her anger flared. How dare that rotten scoundrel show his face here!"

Much of the story is fiction but as always, threads of truth are woven through the tapestry.

It is up to the reader to decide what is fact, and what is fiction.

Celey is a heartwarming story of family and faith. Filled with laughter and tears, it offers a well-rounded experience for the reader. Celey's adventures don't end in Arkansas - join the family as they move to Texas and the stage is set for the story of Melinda.

Be prepared to laugh, cry, cheer on the good guys, and root against the bad guys. Celey has it all!
