Still House Pond (Copper Brown Series Book 2)

Lilly Gray Corbett loves living on Troublesome Creek, but she would much rather play with her best friend than watch her little brother and the twins. Her mama, Copper, is often gone helping to birth babies, and Lilly has to stay home. When Aunt Alice sends a note inviting her to visit in the city, Lilly is excited to go, and Copper reluctantly agrees to let her. Later, when they hear the news that the train crashed, Copper and her husband, John, rush to find out if their daughter is injured . . . or even alive. From Booklist Watson continues her inspiring Copper Brown series. It is no small task to be the only nurse available for delivering babies in the small community of Troublesome Creek, but Copper Pelfrey seems up to the task. When she must quarantine an expectant mother to protect the health of the entire town, she is forced to battle an angry husband and father-to-be while she works to try and save the lives of this young mother and her unborn child. But this becomes the least of her problems when the train carrying her daughter, Lilly, derails, and Lilly is nowhere to be found among the wreckage. Copper is faced with the unspeakable horror of not knowing where her child is or even if she is still alive. This tragedy will test their faith and challenge the entire family as they are reminded of where hope is found. Packed with characters full of feminine strength, Still House Pond paints a picture of nineteenth-century rural life, while offering a hint of romance and a dash of suspense. --Elizabeth Ponder About the Author This is
