Ripley and Stretch: A wild packrat and a squirrel compete for the same oak tree and other items.
This is the sixth book in the War Eagle River series. Marybeth's troubled girlhood is made more painful by the difficulties of her lifelong best friend. Circumstances outside her control leave her with guilt over something she should have done that she might not have, and when the chips were down, would she have the strength to accept what happened? Guilt creates a big rock in the road to happiness, but she finds a way around it from an unexpected source. When all other avenues are blocked, look up. Author Joann Ellen Sisco perfectly captures the voice and soul of the southern Ozarks. People are people, no matter where they are, but the subtle culture and expression of language is unique to a place and time and no one masters this better for this distinctive section of America than Sisco.
The created beings called angels, as outlined in the King James Version of the Holy Bible, have amazing abilities. Not being bound to time or space, they are well qualified for the missions assigned them. From the beginning of time there have many parallels within the activities of humans and this book of historical fiction follows the lives of two ladies with missions of their own, and the angelic help that was provided them. Young Garnette Tanner began her mission before she was a year old, and that was not even her name. Moses, in the Bible, had nothing on Nettie who had a history with a bois darc (or hedge apple) tree and well, it would take too long to explain what happened but its all in this book. Angel 734, along with others, does her part. It seemed to be in the Boss agenda that each of his humans have their own duties which may be a lifetime of service or possibly one brave action. Each of these ladies was born in an interesting period of history, with no experience to qualify her for uh, well, it is all fully explained in this book.
The created beings called angels, as outlined in the King James Version of the Holy Bible, have amazing abilities. Not being bound to time or space, they are well qualified for the missions assigned them. The angels, such as Angel 942, with their specific history and talents, often combine actions to rescue the Boss young humans. A tragedy that splits a family apart was not Plan A, but there had been the minus angels to contend with. No matter. The Boss angels knew what would happen and that it could be incorporated into successful Plan B. Young Leticia Morgan went one way and her brothers another, but that was not the end of the story within this historical fiction account. There was the event with horses, a locomotive and the unsafe trestle, and well, a lot happens before and after this incident, but its all in the book. There are numerous accounts of humans being moved in a direction that was not necessarily in their plans. Some are in the Holy Bible, and others go un-noticed, but some happen like the one in this book all with angelic help and direction that is not necessarily recognized.
