About this ebook

Grow up. Fall in love. Avoid alligators

 

Abandoned by her mother, nine year-old Princess finds herself alone in the swamp with her absentee father, who travels the river to make a living. Then she finds Cree at her door, the boy who lives two houses down on their tiny patch of land. He's twelve and strong, the first boy she's ever seen, and he invites her to dinner with his baby brothers, because Cree, like Princess, is mostly alone in the world. That evening his eyes sparkle at Princess for the very first time, and Princess' life truly begins.

 

From that day forward Cree and Princess work together to survive and raise Cree's brothers. Occasionally hindered by Cree's abusive father, they learn about life and growing up through her dad's extensive library as well as the lessons they figure out on their own. But life in the swamp isn't easy for two kids. They endure flooding storms, illness, and alligators along the way. Cree longs to care for his brothers and the girl he's falling in love with by traveling like his dad, but Princess is terrified he'll never return, just like her mother never returned. And yet they have to agree and work together, because neither can survive alone.

 

In this coming of age romance, follow Cree and Princess as they grow up, fall in love, and avoid alligators. Come visit a quieter place and time and drift down the river in the sweet romance Trilogy on the River.

Author

Jill Penrod

Jill Penrod wrote her first novel in high school. It was a space opera (she watched Star Wars A LOT), and it was not great literature. But she persevered, graduating college with top honors in writing. Since then, she’s published more than thirty novels. She writes in several  genres including Christian teen romance, sweet romance, Christian fantasy stories, and non-fiction. None of them are space operas. Jill lives in Kentucky with her husband and youngest son. She has three adult children out there doing adult things like work and marriage. When she isn’t writing, she gardens and spoils her long-haired Chihuahua Sparrow, along with a few other cats and dogs. Recently she fulfilled her dream of moving to the country, although it has yet to be seen if this city mouse can become a country mouse or not.
