When the Tide Ebbs: An epic 1930's love story
(Book #1 in the A Grave Encounter Series)
He swore he would never enter another church-or surrender his heart to a woman. Then the preacher's daughter asked him to teach her arithmetic.
Pivan Falls, Mississippi, 1929.
Seventeen-year-old Kiah Grave has spent his life on the wrong side of the tracks. Dirt-poor, fatherless, and branded by the respectable church people who once turned him and his mother away, Kiah has learned to trust no one but himself. His intelligence may be his only path out of Rooster Run, and he dreams of proving that even a penniless boy can rise above the name others have given him.
Love has no place in that plan.
Then Zann Pruitt walks into his classroom.
Bright, beautiful, and far too persistent, the parson's daughter refuses to see Kiah the way the rest of the town does. When she asks him to tutor her beneath an old covered bridge, their afternoons of arithmetic, lemonade, and playful arguments slowly become something neither of them can deny.
For the first time, Kiah begins to imagine a future filled with more than poverty and resentment. But the Depression is tightening its grip, the truth about the father he has never known remains painfully out of reach, and the bitterness Kiah carries may prove stronger than the love trying to set him free.
As social divisions, old wounds, and dangerous choices threaten everything they hope to build, Kiah must decide whether he can trust the girl who believes in him-and the God whose people once convinced him he did not belong.
A sweeping Christian historical romance filled with Southern humor, tender first love, family secrets, faith, heartache, and the transforming power of grace.
When the Tide Ebbs is Book One of the Grave Encounters series-an unforgettable love story that continues across three generations.
