Based on the real-life story of PENNIE KENOYER, The House By The Side Of The Road introduces us to a world not yet crushed by Depression or war, a world where the lumberjack can still swing an axe to provide for his girls. Life in logging camps, mountain cabins, and snake-infested riverbeds help Jessie Mae become a girl of unusual courage and tenacity.

When their small farming town is hit by the Great Depression, the family become scattered. Hundreds of miles from all that is familiar she clings to her mother’s promise, “The Lord will never leave you nor forsake you.” This promise remains her wellspring throughout the Depression and as the world makes its frightening plunge into war.

As a teenager, Pennie catches the eye of handsome new-boy-in-school LANDON WEST. She senses trouble beneath his rare charisma, but Landon wins her heart and at age 19, Pennie becomes an Army bride.

In wartime San Francisco, Pennie’s happiness with their new baby is shattered when echoes of Landon’s unfaithfulness reach her. She tries to forgive him but finds it hard to forget. After the war they meet Scottish preacher Archie McNeill and encounter the saving grace of Christ. Pennie finds she can finally and truly forgive her husband.

Several good years pass until Landon, father of five, strays again. It is the tip of an iceberg that will prove devastating. As scandal threatens to engulf the family, Pennie’s faith sustains her when a divorce decree reveals secrets she must now face, and conquer.

The House by the Side of the Road takes you on a journey of trouble and miracle as Pennie searches for the truth, and uncovers courage.
