From a USA Today Bestselling Author of Women’s Fiction comes a value-packed box set of three Award-Winning Novels
There’s plenty to enjoy in this trio of heartwarming Southern sagas… they are family dramas that will have you reading long past bedtime as you discover characters that take up residence in your heart and small towns that make you want to live there.
In these full-length novels you’ll meet three amazing women; women who rise up to meet life’s challenges and stand ready to defend those they love. As Abigail, Olivia and Ophelia know, bad things can sometimes happen to good people, but faith, friendship, and love have a way of righting the world’s wrongs.
Southern Comfort…fiction with a down home flavor.
*************************
This boxed set of some of Bette’s best books would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s library. All three of these are the first in three of her series. They are all wonderful, magical, thought-provoking stories that will not only give the reader a taste of her work, but they will draw you in and make you want more. Bette creates such memorable characters and writes with such wisdom. Each book could serve as a life lesson for us all.
The Twelfth Child is the story of a beautiful relationship between an older woman and young women who befriends her. And the greedy people who want to get their hands on what doesn't belong to them.
Memory House is a story about memories and being able to find someone to carry on those memories so they don’t get lost. Bette poses an interesting idea; that memories are stored, but sometimes are forgotten, and that there is a memory keeper who finds and cares for those memories.
Spare Change is actually the first book of Bette’s that I read. She has been one of my must-read authors ever since. It is a delightful, homey story, with murder and mayhem thrown in, told with a little southern flavor that put a smile on my face as I was reading.

About the author
USA Today Bestselling and Award-winning novelist Bette Lee Crosby's books are "Well-crafted storytelling populated by memorable characters caught up in equally memorable circumstances." - Midwest Book Review
The Seattle Post Intelligencer says Crosby's writing is, "A quirky mix of Southern flair, serious thoughts about important things in life and madcap adventures."
Samantha from Reader's Favorite raves, "Crosby writes the type of book you can't stop thinking about long after you put it down."
"Storytelling is in my blood," Crosby laughingly admits, "My mom was not a writer, but she was a captivating storyteller, so I find myself using bits and pieces of her voice in most everything I write."
It is the wit and wisdom of that Southern Mama Crosby brings to her works of fiction; the result is a delightful blend of humor, mystery and romance along with a cast of quirky charters who will steal your heart away. Her work was first recognized in 2006 when she received The National League of American Pen Women Award for a then unpublished manuscript. She has since gone on to win nineteen awards for her work; these include: The Royal Palm Literary Award, the FPA President's Book Award Gold Medal, Reader's Favorite Award Gold Medal, and the Reviewer's Choice Award.

Thanks for stopping El, and for the follow. I'll go check out your blog.
DeleteI love Kindle books! I have the app on my iPad and read so many books that way. It sure is a lot lighter than carrying around several books (because you never know when you might need a second book, gasp) You never run out. And there are so many free, and very inexpensive Kindle books out there - such great deals. I love my print books and will never give them up but I love reading e-books too.
Have a great day and happy reading!
