Omie's Well (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Omie Silar and her mamma Kate were descended from a line of women with the Sight-a knowing of things to come, of secrets hidden beneath life's surface. Midwives and healers, they used their gifts to lessen the suffering of those living and those spirits hovering between. Had Omie been able to read the portents at the bottom of her own teacup, she might have borne less suffering herself. Perhaps when she saw, as her mother predicted, the face of the man she was to marry, she only sensed the sweetness that overlaid the sorrows to come.

Nate Silar ran away from an abusive father at a young age, finding his way to Omie and the fate awaiting them. Frank and Kate Lee bring the troubled boy into their family, giving him the home he'd never had. Omie's love and Nate's bottled demons struggle for his soul, leaving them to choose what to do with both their gifts and their burdens.

Set in the early 1900's near Savannah, Georgia, Omie's Well captures the rich flavor of the south, its humor, the strength of its people, and the challenges a changing world brings to their doorstep.

Autorenporträt

Rebecca Holbrook grew up steeped in the rich culture of the south. Her mother's people were some of the early settlers around Savannah, Georgia. Their stories, passed down through the generations, inspired this book. Though she was raised in Florida and lived much of her life in Tennessee, these family tales are loosely draped around her own story. Rebecca has been a banjo player and songwriter for much of her life. This is her first novel, and its sequel, "The Deer Stone", is soon to follow. She lives now in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Gary, and red dog, Liza Jane.
