Her story The Bread Keeper in the Where Kindness Lives Anthology:
In the shadow of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, young widow Hattie Mae Walker scrapes by baking bread from her meager cabin, trading loaves for survival. When she discovers Gideon Knox, a brooding Union veteran, leaving food for the Hollis family, outcasts for their Rebel ties, she bristles at his bossy manner. She doesn’t want his help. But with winter closing in, they strike a reluctant partnership to shelter the shunned family before it’s too late.
As whispers turn to violence, Hattie becomes the target of those who brand her a traitor. When her home is vandalized and her courage tested, she chooses to fight back the only way she knows—by offering bread in defiance, daring the town to confront its own hardness of heart.
Together, Hattie and Gideon discover that kindness can take root even in rocky soil, and that sometimes, love rises from the same fire that tries to destroy it.
