Running from her past, a devout teacher finds her future.
At Home in Persimmon Hollow is the first book in a series chronicling love and life in a small fictional town in frontier Florida.
In 1886, the pious Agnes is forced to leave - for her own safety - the Catholic convent-orphanage where she grew up. With nothing but her faith to sustain her, she begins her new life as a teacher in Persimmon Hollow. She discovers a wild and beautiful new landscape and a town filled with upright people. They include the difficult but handsome Seth, a man whose heart has been hardened to God after a terrible loss.
As Agnes starts to put down roots and establishes a fragile bond with Seth, danger strikes. Destructive men from both their pasts arrive in town. Can Agnes finally escape her past and find a bright new future?
