Book Description
The bestselling author of Yellow Crocus returns with a haunting and tender story of three women returning to the plantation they once called home. Oberlin, Ohio, 1868. Lisbeth Johnson was born into privilege in the antebellum South. Jordan Freedman was born a slave to Mattie, Lisbeth's beloved nurse. The women have an unlikely bond deeper than friendship. Three years after the Civil War, Lisbeth and Mattie are tending their homes and families while Jordan, an aspiring suffragette, teaches at an integrated school. When Lisbeth discovers that her father is dying, she's summoned back to the Virginia plantation where she grew up. There she must face the Confederate family she betrayed by marrying an abolitionist. Jordan and Mattie return to Fair Oaks, too, to save the family they left behind, who still toil in oppression. For Lisbeth, it's a time for reconciliation. For Jordan and Mattie, it's time for liberation. As the Johnsons and Freedmans confront the injustice that binds them, as well as the bitterness and violence that seethes at its heart, the women must find the courage to free their families--and themselves--from the past.

Book Description
The Mustards Seeds is a collection of short stories based on well known bible stories but taken from unique perspectives; like Judas’ narcissistic attitude as he recounts his valued role in Christ’s ministry and Peter’s consuming fear and doubt as he sinks needlessly into the stormy sea. John has added a fun and modern element to these ancient narratives while working hard to capture the real life feelings and emotions behind these people’s experiences. Perhaps you will find new insight and relevance to God’s word as you experience it anew through the minds and hearts of the Mustard Seeds.

Book Description
Imagine a book that combines the concepts behind two of the most popular books of all-time: Catcher in the Rye and Atlas Shrugged. This book would be a coming-of-age story, a love story, and a story about the power of ideas - the big, overarching ideas about love and faith, truth and morality. You've found that book in The Mustard Seed. The plot of The Mustard Seed is focused on three friends (Brian, Mark, and Troy) who just graduated from college, and the challenges they overcome as they adjust to the "Real World." As the plot unfolds, each character goes through a spiritual and intellectual journey (although only one of them will complete that journey). The survivor comes to embody a unique life philosophy that will inspire readers everywhere. Overall, The Mustard Seed is a gripping, emotionally riveting novel that is finding a wide audience among young people, spiritual seekers, and intellectuals. TODD WHITE is a young writer living in Arlington, Virginia. Since he spent most of his life being frustrated by works of fiction- whether because they were too boring, too unrealistic, or too depressing - he decided to write one of his own. When he's not scribbling his thoughts down on paper, he can be found watching sports on TV, travelling across the country, or engaging in spirited, meaningful conversation with his friends.
