Second Place, Adult Fiction Book Series

Long before #MeToo, a woman who became pregnant after an assault paid a high price. Laws didn't support her. Society shunned her. She was often banished from home. That's what happens to the 19th century heroine of the award-winning Growing A Family in Persimmon Hollow, the third book in the Persimmon Hollow Legacy Series. The exiled Penelope faces the untamed Florida frontier to protect her unborn child and build a future on her own terms.

Seeking refuge far from her city home, the cultured Penelope discovers that Persimmon Hollow is a community of grace and acceptance. She discovers an unexpected path to love in a sweet courtship with a visiting archaeologist whose support helps her open her heart. She embraces faith after seeing how it uplifts and guides the people who surround her.
