| About the Book
Come to the banks of the mighty Roanoke River, a place where people still drink moonshine and neighbors lend a helping hand.
A magical, inspirational tale of friendship. Miss Velvie is the eccentric old woman who brings the South's past into the present, hauling her pets around in an old hearse. Boiling up home potions and taking her shotgun to abusive husbands, she always has a cure - whether the ailment is of the body, the heart or the spirit. While rescuing a stray puppy she encounters Joanna, a young woman who carries a faith-shattering secret.
Meet Johnny-Vern, the precocious playboy; Nollie, the folklore professor; and Tansey, the saucy nurse who stands up for what she believes in. And what town would be complete without the one member who seeks to destroy everything they stand for?
Rainbow Bridge Farm encompasses all that is special about the South and provides a touch of romance. It also presents a statement about deep friendships as the characters go to extraordinary lengths to help all God's creatures, human and animal alike-lengths that surpass this world, and enter the spiritual realm beyond.
