TRUDY'S AWAKENING is a historical novel set in the latter half of nineteenth-century Georgia that tells the story of three women whose lives were intermingled as they worked to overcome society's barriers to their progress and success. Gertrude Thomas, "Trudy" to her friends and family, grew up in wealth and privilege but lost it all in the aftermath of the war. Amanda "Mae," along with her mother Lurany, were enslaved to Gertrude's family and yearned for freedom. Lizzie Jeter was a middle-class young woman who dreamed of being a professional artist. All three faced tremendous obstacles in a world that wished to limit and suppress their talents.

LOCAL SIGNS AND WONDERS is an essay collection describing how attachment to a family homestead creates a sense of wellbeing, fulfillment, and belonging. Richard Rankin lives on family property settled in the mid 1760s and farmed until the 1970s. The Rankin home place sits in a shrinking countryside about twenty miles west of fast-growing Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite rural decline and environmental peril, these essays show how staying on family land benefits personal wholeness, rich relationships with family, neighbors and wildlife, and service to creation.
