You are What you Say!
All her life, 15-year-old Tisha Crowder’s family has said they were all trash, herself included. Now court mandated to do community service hours, Tisha is working them off in Jillian’s business—whose idea for this, along with some supervision, comes from Jillian’s attorney father, Nolan.
Dysfunctional is not a strong enough word to describe the five generations of women currently living in the Crowder household. Lots of bitterness and poor self-esteem exist because of the many men who have abandoned them. The anger Tisha has from being treated as dumb, worthless and unworthy of knowing her father’s name, causes her to strike out at everyone including Jillian.
Jillian uses her genealogy skills to uncover the story of the Denver Brandt family who lost their comfortable lifestyle, and everything else, during the 1893 silver collapse. Dad, Clifford, desperately tries to help his suddenly unemployed miners, as well as, his now broke family survive in an economy that no longer has work for anyone, himself included.
What is the story about Tisha’s dad? How does the Brandt family influence the lives of present-day people? Will Tisha continue her family’s history and become a single teenage mother? Can Tisha understand Proverbs 18:21, “Life and death are in the power of the tongue…,” and change the family’s future?
This is a 5-star story and series, and this book can be read alone, but get them all for more enjoyable adventures with Jillian and Nolan. These attention-grabbing clean tales, told from a Christian viewpoint, are recommended to everyone who likes standout stories with an interesting twist.
