Maryhill

In the 1700s the Scotch-Irish people came to America. They left behind poverty and mistrust only to find much of the same in the hills of Appalachia. They settled with other Scotch-Irish hoping to find seclusion to live as they wanted, to worship God and to be free of restrictions. The people contributed much to America. They were instrumental in fighting the English side by side with the very settlers who didn't understand them. They gave us bootleg whiskey, an honorable trade to them and bluegrass music. This story tells of a couple living several generations after that people's arrival on American soil. The couple are in love yet misunderstandings keep them apart. Just as the people as a whole are misunderstood by other settlers, those not living in the mountains, the couple make the same error. They don't communicate. It takes these mistakes and God's guidance to bring them back together.

About the Author

Sandy Grissom
has loved books all her life. That love began by listening to her older sister read when she was still too young to discover the magic for herself. She’s read everything from history to the phone book but her favorite authors are James Michener, Agatha Christie and the mystic William Blake.

Over the years, romantic novels became a favorite. The top of that list is Pride and Prejudice. When she retired she had too much time on her hands and spent too much money and trips to the library to get books in order to satisfy her restless soul. It was then she began to write herself.

As an adult she held a variety of jobs, all of them grist for her imaginative mind. The occupations in Choppy Waters will hopefully inspire someone to fight for their own dreams, to never give up on themselves or on love.

A widow, Sandy recently moved to southern Indiana where she lives near the younger of her two beloved sisters.
