The Queen Of Beck's Creek

By Keith Cearlock

The Queen of Beck's Creek
A Ranch Saga of Love, Loyalty, Whiskey, Music & LandBy Keith Cearlock

Since 1912, the Rawlings family has protected the land surrounding Beck's Creek in the heart of Central Illinois.

Through floods, war, heartbreak, hard winters, and generations of sacrifice, Beck's Creek Ranch has survived because the people who loved it refused to let go.

Now everything is changing.

Developers are circling.
Corporate money is moving into rural Illinois.
And powerful outsiders see Beck's Creek as nothing more than valuable land waiting to be claimed.

But Jacob Rawlings has spent his entire life defending the ranch his family built.

Standing beside him is Loralee Rawlings - the strong, graceful woman locals quietly call:

"The Queen of Beck's Creek."

Together they must fight to preserve not only their land, but the music, memories, traditions, and way of life rooted deep within the creek bottoms, back roads, whiskey nights, old bridges, and prairie sunsets of rural America.

As pressure mounts from corporate developers, state officials, and family division, Beck's Creek becomes more than a ranch...

It becomes a symbol.

Woven throughout the story are the songs and spirit of Beck's Creek:
