"Christy's writing captivated me right from the start. Because I found myself 'missing' her characters when I wasn't reading, I devoured this one (Where the River Bends) in a mere two days!"

-- Ginger Plowman, award-winning writer of Don't Make Me Count to Three, Reaching the Heart of Your Child, Wise Words for Moms and Heaven at Home.

"Christy Truitt is a polished writer who knows the secrets people try to keep locked up inside.  The First Drop of Rain faces squarely one of the biggest secrets of married life: wife abuse. She vividly conveys the tensions of always worrying what night will bring, and she shows how women from all walks of life can learn to face their fears."

-- John Paine, 20-year veteran of the New York publishing industry. Mr. Paine has worked with such notable writers as John Jakes, Sylvia Browne and Patti Callahan Henry.
