from the Ridge
There are three separate communities on the Ridge in Central Kentucky. Pleasant Hill, Stringtown Proper, and Over Yonder are as different as they can be to grow up in, but coming together and reaching young adulthood at the consolidated high school makes twains meet that no one ever imagined.
A Soft Place to Fall
Book One
Early McGrath doesn't want freedom from her thirty-year marriage to Nash, but when it's forced upon her, she does the only thing she knows to do - she goes home to the Ridge to reinvent herself.
Only what is someone who's spent her life taking care of other people supposed to do when no one needs her anymore? Even as the threads of her life unravel, she finds new ones - reconnecting with the church of her childhood, building the quilt shop that has been a long-time dream, and forging a new friendship with her former husband.
The definition of freedom changes when it's combined with faith, and through it all perhaps Early and Nash can find a Soft Place to Fall.
