Lily: Song of the River

By Diane T. Ashley, Aaron McCarver

Description:

In 1859 Natchez, Mississippi, Lily Anderson is determined to thwart a marriage of convenience. She embarks on a riverboat venture to keep her and her two sisters afloat financially. But gambler Blake Matthews has won part ownership of Lily’s riverboat. How will their business profit if he and the feisty Mississippi miss disagree about almost everything? The affluent Jean Luc Champney will do anything to get back what he lost in a card game, including wooing and endangering the pretty new owner. Will the siren song of the river evolve into a serenade or a somber lament?

Book Takeaway:

All three of our main character--Lily, Blake, and Jean Luc Champney--are searching for redemption, and we wanted to show through each search that the only path to true redemption is found in Jesus Christ.

Why the author wrote this book:

Living in Mississippi, we realize it is a time and place often overlooked and we wanted to bring this fascinating era alive for our readers.
