She ran from shame.
God led her home.
In 1949, young Ludie Graham believes she is running toward love when she leaves behind the only family she has ever known to marry the handsome Schooner Alexander. But the wedding of her dreams quickly becomes a nightmare, and Ludie finds herself alone, ashamed, and hiding in the Georgia swamps with nowhere to go.
To little Emma Flanigan, the frightened stranger who saves her from the river is nothing less than an angel. To Carly Flanigan, the mysterious girl is both a blessing and a threat—another reminder of the guilt and grief Carly has carried since the loss of her own child.
As Ludie becomes woven into the lives of Cooper, Carly, and Emma, secrets begin to surface, hearts begin to soften, and the past refuses to stay buried. But forgiveness is never simple, and the road home may require more courage than running ever did.
Set against the warmth and hardship of rural North Georgia, Swamp Angel is a moving Southern Christian novel about shame, mercy, family, and the redeeming love of God.
For readers who enjoy heartfelt inspirational fiction, emotional family drama, and stories of grace rising out of broken places.
