Claiming Peace By: Jo Huddleston
I really enjoyed Claiming Peace. This
is the first one I have read of the
series of Caney Creek Series. I need
to go read the other two. The story of
the Callaway family. Callie who has
a medical issue and there is no cure.
Callie knows she doesn’t have long
to live. She has peace can she help
her family to find peace that she will
be dying soon? The story show how
a family can come together through a
time of hardship and pull together
thinking of others no matter what is going on in their own lives. Loved
the book. Need tissues for this one. 5 star
Jo Huddleston's recently released novel, Claiming Peace, is book 3 in the
Caney Creek Series. Here's what some have to say about Claiming Peace:
"In Claiming Peace, Jo Huddleston paints a vivid picture of small-town
life and burgeoning Southern romance using a palette of love, sadness,
loss, and triumph. With masterful brush strokes, she creates a striking,
colorful portrait of characters and events that will linger in both the mind
and heart long after the last page is turned. I highly recommend this latest
entry in the Caney Creek series." JASON BRANNON, author of The
Maze "Jo Huddleston's Claiming
Peace is as refreshing as a tall glass of
southern sweet tea shared with friends
on the front porch swing. You're going
to love this poignant story of family,
romance and unconditional love."
