Crossing Purdy Creek

A story that strikes a chord deep in the heart and speaks to the values and emotions of us all, Crossing Purdy Creek is the life-affirming, intricately-woven account of an older woman coming to terms with her past. After her mother's death, Kate begins to experience an uncomfortable, inexplicable yearning to revisit the place where she grew up. She is haunted by a strange dream and disturbed by the memories that have surfaced. She cannot ignore the feeling that she needs to go home. Prompted by a friend, who suggests that Kate just might have a divine appointment, she finally returns to the setting of her childhood. The farmland of Ohio has changed a great deal; where fields of corn and wheat once stood, there are now streets, homes, and businesses. Most of the old families are gone. Kate questions the wisdom of her trip. But then she locates a familiar face, and an old friendship is rekindled. In the process she discovers some amazing information about her life. The account that follows is a touching family drama, a story of unconditional love in the face of rejection and condemnation. It is a story of uncommon courage and healing in the face of shame, loss, and heartbreak. It's an inspiring story of God's leading. Reverberating with notes of tenderness and victory, Crossing Purdy Creek reminds us that God surely has a purpose for every life.
