Four young women learn that there is no hiding from God - and love - in small towns among the rugged bluffs and clear-water lakes of Arkansas and Missouri. Amity and Emily face the biggest transitions of their lives, while Andrea and Carla fight the change that threatens their comfortable existence. Each of the four is about to embark on a journey of trust. Leaving behind nearly everything she treasures, Amity Hudson Edmonds flees her home for The Healing Promise of safety at her aunt's Eureka Springs bed and breakfast. Even there she is a hunted woman, but why? Who can help her? For the next two years, Dr. Emily Richards plans to serve the new clinic in her small hometown in southern Arkansas -then join her fiance on the African mission field. The new owner of the local lumber mill, however, is challenging her goals and ideals. Where can her heart find A Place for Love? As a teacher, president of the local historical society, and a single woman, Andrea Cooper has a comfortable life - until Grant Logan, a talented architect, adamantly refuses to register his Civil War-era house or place a marker in his yard. Will that marker be a symbol of conflict between them - or become A Sign of Love? Carla Bennett is the proud owner of a mountainside bed and breakfast. She is determined to deny The Hasty Heart that beats within her when she first meets Jim Donahue - who has plans for logging her idyllic surroundings. Can these two find a compromise? The road to contentment may be long and winding, like an Ozark highway. What does God have in store for each woman along the way?

More About the Author
Veda Boyd Jones is the author of 42 books with traditional publishers, some for adult markets, most for children. Publishers include Scholastic, Barbour, McGraw-Hill, Lerner, Lucent, Chelsea House, Wendy Pye, Avalon, and Seedling. In addition,she's had over 500 short stories or articles published in magazines (Woman's World, The Writer, Harris' Farmer's Almanac, Highlights, Cricket, Humpty Dumpty and many others). Now she's ventured into the e-world with Joe's Ghost on Kindle.
She says, "I am never bored when waiting in a doctor's or dentist's office, since I just turn on my imagination and invent characters to go along with the people sitting in chairs around me. But that's when I'm thinking of fiction.
I write a good deal of nonfiction for children. This is an entirely different way of writing. Ninety percent of my time is spent researching and documenting facts. Kids believe what they see in print, and my job is to make sure it is accurate."
