“In the twenty-first century we seldom find time to pause…for without “think time” we are merely subjects of our reactions to things and others. Reading invites a moment to ponder….to reflect… to disagree… to discuss… and then go beyond…”

Nanette L. Avery lives outside Nashville in the beautiful state of Tennessee. Novelist and short story writer, best known for her historical fiction, Orphan in America. Her nickname Nan is a palindrome and her favorite pastime is watching International films with a glass of red wine. #amwriting

When Theodore Grant arrives in Cottonwood with nothing but a mule-drawn wagon and sixty mysterious jars, the townsfolk are curious. But what lies sealed inside those jars is more than just a mystery—it’s a reckoning.
