Journey from Cates Creek

By K. Lana Givens

HOME TO CATES CREEK began the story of the Graham family's move from eastern Tennessee to Missouri in the 1850's and the family's struggles through the Civil War. JOURNEY FROM CATES CREEK continues with the next generation of those who call Cates Creek home.All Abbie Neal has known or wanted is living her tomboy life on the farm at Cates Creek surrounded by the extended Graham and Neal families. Through a surprise bequest, God challenges Abbie to move beyond the foothills of the Ozarks to expand her world and to develop her skills through education and practical experience. From school in St. Louis to the Oklahoma Indian Territory in the 1880's, Abbie learns who she is and how much she is like her mother Barbary Neal in her calling to heal others. Although temptation and pride test Abbie's faith, she begins to recognize that God has a plan for her life. With the deep sadness of loss and her disappointment in others, Abbie prays that God will bring someone to share both her love and her faith.
