It's 1965 and Jemmabeth Forrester is somewhat on her own, studying art and men. There was a time when she could win a game with just one good jump shot right at the buzzer. She was in control then, but now Jemma's a self-proclaimed nitwit. In spite of a pickup load of advice, she remains outright stubborn and shifty, much like the Texas Panhandle wind. She hopes to turn out like her grandmother, a woman of faith, but that hasn't exactly happened yet.

      A summer romance throws her off track with the sweet man who's loved her since the first grade, just when she's decided that he is The One. Jemma fiddles with his patience to her deep regret. She also raises a few brows around her newly integrated hometown in the name of "Jemma justice", proving that matters of the heart aren't always about boyfriends.

      CORNER OF BLUE, the first book in the "Jemma" series, rekindles a gentler time when family and friends were everywhere, and you were frequently glad of it.  You'll find that, when needed, the good citizens of Connelly County stand ready to help out with chores, form a prayer circle, or stretch the truth about your situation.  Take your pick.
