What if one accidental mistake could rewrite your future forever?
That’s the tragic dilemma two seemingly opposite, yet
romantically bound teens – Genevieve and Steve – must answer if
they want to explore their deep connection while saving the lives
of those they love the most. Genevieve – a quiet, high-achieving
high school senior – falls head over heels for Steve – a
popular, yet reclusive boy – who himself is still healing from
the tragic loss of his parents. As the two watch their love
blossom, Steve suddenly disappears, leaving not a clue behind. In
the midst of grappling with her love’s mysterious disappearance,
Genevieve’s perfect world is unexpectedly shattered when her
family is blackmailed into revealing a dark secret. But, this
isn’t just any secret. Because if the truth is exposed, it
will change how Genevieve views her family and inevitably push them
all onto an even more dangerous path. Set in the backdrop of
charming and quaint Moncks Corner, South Carolina, Haunted By You
is an intense romantic suspense that takes readers on a
highly-entertaining psychological journey through whirlwind
romance, real-life ghost stories, haunted pasts, and ultimate
heartache with tragic consequences. For young adult readers
looking to be kept on the edge of their seats with well-developed
characters and an excitedly-rich storyline – Haunted By You will
challenge readers to reconsider what’s ‘normal’, come to
grips with unexpected loss, and redefine what it means to cherish
the small moments in life.
Once again, Louise Littleton Davis has produced from her store of
knowledge and understanding of Tennessee history a collection of
engrossing stories about the people and events that went into the
making of that great state. This book spans two centuries, from
pre-Revolutionary days into the 1800s. The reader will now meet
many more of early Tennessee's colorful characters, often in
unexpected places. Pious and profane, noble and notorious, all of
these historical figures emerge as real men and women who worked,
fought, and prayed a young state into being. Accounts of incredible
land deals dramatize the tragedy of American Indians pushed west by
the white man's greed. Tribute is paid to John Ross, the most
notable of all Cherokee chiefs, whose lifelong struggle for the
rights of the Indians ended with the infamous "Trail of Tears," a
death march for many of the 17,000 Cherokees forced by U.S. Army
troops to walk from Tennessee to Oklahoma. Frontier criminal
justice, shocking by today's standards, reveals a rugged society
that considered horse thievery worse than murder and administered
punishment accordingly. The strict, often harsh, religious
structure that ruled frontier communities is reflected in accounts
of church trials concerning many matters now handled by civil
courts. Tennessee was not without its dissidents, however. Colonel
Thomas Butler defied an Army order to trim his ponytail locks.
Ironically, the hero of the Revolutionary War found that his
appeals for support to Washington met the same resistance as did
the Cherokees' pleas for their land.
