The bestselling author of Yellow Crocus returns with a haunting and tender story of three women returning to the plantation they once called home. Oberlin, Ohio, 1868. Lisbeth Johnson was born into privilege in the antebellum South. Jordan Freedman was born a slave to Mattie, Lisbeth's beloved nurse. The women have an unlikely bond deeper than friendship. Three years after the Civil War, Lisbeth and Mattie are tending their homes and families while Jordan, an aspiring suffragette, teaches at an integrated school. When Lisbeth discovers that her father is dying, she's summoned back to the Virginia plantation where she grew up. There she must face the Confederate family she betrayed by marrying an abolitionist. Jordan and Mattie return to Fair Oaks, too, to save the family they left behind, who still toil in oppression. For Lisbeth, it's a time for reconciliation. For Jordan and Mattie, it's time for liberation. As the Johnsons and Freedmans confront the injustice that binds them, as well as the bitterness and violence that seethes at its heart, the women must find the courage to free their families--and themselves--from the past.

The Mustards Seeds is a collection of short stories based on well known bible stories but taken from unique perspectives; like Judas’ narcissistic attitude as he recounts his valued role in Christ’s ministry and Peter’s consuming fear and doubt as he sinks needlessly into the stormy sea. John has added a fun and modern element to these ancient narratives while working hard to capture the real life feelings and emotions behind these people’s experiences. Perhaps you will find new insight and relevance to God’s word as you experience it anew through the minds and hearts of the Mustard Seeds.

Her stories, often humorous and always thought provoking, endeavor to show God in the details and point to Christ and how best we can serve Him with our allotted talents and abilities. It is the hope of the writer that these stories nurture a closer walk with Jesus and grow a resilient faith in a turbulent world.
