All God's Creatures
Say hello to Maggie McLain, an unlikely Southern debutante in 1960s
Memphis. Gawky, restless, smart and opinionated, young Maggie isn't
cut out to fill the patent leather pumps of a Southern belle. When she
ditches a Cotton Carnival to save a drowning pup, Maggie realizes her
destiny.
Is the land of mint juleps and Elvis ready for a woman veterinarian?
Maybe not, but Dr. Maggie McLain sets out to prove otherwise.
Over the years, Maggie earns the devotion and respect of crusty farmers,
snobby horse breeders and doubtful pet owners throughout western Tennessee.
She's an inspiration to up-and-coming women vets, a loving wife to her proud
husband, a patient mother to her demanding kids, and above all, a champion
to sick and injured animals.
When loss and grief knock Maggie off her pedestal, she falls hard.
It may take a miracle for her to understand that sometimes even the best
doctor must struggle to heal her own heart.
"Steel Magnolias meets James Herriot. A warm and wonderful story
of Southern veterinarians. I loved it." --Patricia Potter, USA Today Best-selling Author

Welcome back to Mossy Creek! The warm-hearted
but stubborn residents of the small town whose motto is "Ain't Going No
Where—And Don't want To" are once again sorting out the joys, sorrows, and

This time around they've got the added drama of the big town reunion
commemorating the twenty-year-old mystery of the late, great Mossy Creek
High School, which burned to the ground amid quirky rumors and dark secrets.
Are the villains who caused the fire at the grand old school finally ready
to come forward?
In the meantime, sassy 100-year-old Creekite Eula Mae Whit is convinced
Willard Scott has put a death curse on her, and Mossy Creek Police Chief
Amos Royden is still fighting his reputation as the town's most eligible
bachelor. Then there's the new bad girl in town, Jasmine, and more
adventures from the old bad girl in town, Mayor Ida Hamilton. And last but
not least, Bob the flying Chihuahua finds himself stalked by an amorous lady
poodle.
All this and more—including the introduction of Mossy Creek's new recipe
section, courtesy of Creekite Chef Bubba Rice—is waiting for readers in the
second novel of the Mossy Creek series.

contributions by Deborah Smith, Sandra Chastain, Debra Dixon, Virginia
