Zillia Bright never dreamed she’d be orphaned at sixteen and left to care for her baby brother and Papa’s farm.

With only a mule and a hundred-year-old shotgun, she must fight to protect what’s hers. Countless dangers lurk on the Bastrop Texas riverside. Zillia must rely on the help of her best friends, Soonie and Wylder, to hold her world together.

With Zillia’s struggles come unexpected miracles, and proof that God might just listen to the prayers of a river girl.
