Lives are imperiled, and a dawning realization changes Rachel’s life forever.
One reader says of Four Branches... "Dual time lines skillfully woven together draw readers into the action-filled story. And true details from Four Branches of the author’s family tree provide a sound basis for this compelling work of historical fiction."

Published in 2007. This book was written for the town's bicentennial celebration. Working with town Historian, Liz Albright, I was able to pull together a variety of photos that depict the town's rich history. Find out about the Iron Ore Mining industry - and how a piece of land went from Apples to Atoms.
