Willow Creek by Wendie Kryselmire
Beneath the golden glow of Missouri’s late 1870s, simmering tensions threaten to boil over in the idyllic town of Willow Creek.

As Samuel’s manipulative tactics and Amos’s passive resistance clash, a bitter feud erupts. Greed, pranks, and vandalism escalate, casting a shadow over the once-peaceful community. Their families become entangled, drawn into the escalating conflict that threatens to tear Willow Creek apart.
This compelling historical tale captures the clash of personalities and the transformative power of land in a time of westward expansion. Can forgiveness bridge the divide, or will Willow Creek succumb to the bitter harvest sown by greed and stubbornness?
