Sister Ree Kate
Setting and Community
Set in a rural community of Clayhill, Georgia. A general book of fiction that depicts the lifestyle of a small town community where everybody knows everybody. However, there are hidden secrets and lies of the past that haunt the people who make every effort to maintain their upstanding images. The characters have a loving, caring relationship with each other throughout the closely knit rural community.
The Church and Local Life
Down by the creek is a little shack of a church where the pastor bellows out high power sermons. The church goers rock to the beat of good ole gospel songs and a one man band. They don't mind praising the Lord, and in the midst of it all, they love showing off their best Sunday-go-to-meeting outfits. Nothing much happens in the neighborhood except the deepest dark pain and the gossip that seem to spring from well-kept secrets.
Sequel and Main Character
