George and Jenny

Widower George is looking forward to a quieter, slower-paced life. With no more job hassles to worry about, all he needs to do is sit out on the deck of his new Midwest property and relax. He never expected his life to be shaken up by the arrival of a pretty stranger.

Jenny is much younger than George but has had more than her share of disappointment and heartbreak. Devastated after her husband was killed robbing a convenience store, she has since been unable to give her heart to another. But as George and Jenny grow closer, they are able to confront their pasts and their fears about future commitments. With the help of the church and their community, they find the courage to take the ultimate step forward.

In George and Jenny, author Billy D. Pearson perfectly captures the charm and community of country life. The “hill people,” as George lovingly calls them, open their hearts to the new arrivals and offer friendship, expecting nothing in return. Their warmth touches the souls of George and Jenny, changing them forever. This gentle novel of loss and renewal, of Christian love and fellowship, will reopen your heart to life’s possibilities.

Billy D. Pearson turned to the therapeutic healing power of writing to help him recover from the loss of his wife. Pearson has also authored the novels The Bride and Chronicles of Hickory County.
