Small Town
Inter-generational Series
Flying fossils
There’s only one way to pry a fossilized hurt from a hard heart . . . forgive.
I’ll be the first to admit that being a mother is hard. But mothering my slightly demented mother is about to drive me over the edge. I warned Momma about climbing on ladders and using power tools. I’ve told her for years that the ranch is too much for her, but she quit listening to me long before her good sense began to slip. Now she’s laid up in the hospital and I’m the one who has to drop everything and fly home. How am I going to manage my Washington career, a rebellious daughter, and a marriage in need of attention all the way from Texas? If Momma had dreams of being surrounded by family in her golden years, she shouldn’t have let our relationship sink in the Frio.
The Women of Fossil Ridge Series is a touching addition to the small town, generational series of favorite authors like Ann B. Ross, Jan Karon, and Beth Hoffman.
Gentry’s small-town series is a masterful peek into what it takes to resuscitate a mother-daughter relationship. Series sparkles with humor, heart, and southern charm. ~Amazon Reviewer

FINALLY FREE
Sometimes the only way forward is to forget the past.
Out of a sense of duty, I’ve returned to the river that cuts through the Texas hill country. Moving home was the right thing to do. But putting my life on hold to care for my aging mother, a woman I hardly recognize anymore, requires the patience of a saint. Which I’ve have never been, according to my mother’s increasingly sharp-tongue.
Leaving my daughter with her philandering father was out of the question so I brought her to Texas with me. I hope I’ve not made another mistake by allowing Aria to experience her grandmother’s mental decline. Music has bonded those two like it used to bind me and my mother. It’s amazing how Momma can’t remember where she put her shoes but she can still play musical scores from memory. The doctor says nothing can stop the thick fog that will eventually hijack my mother’s mind. But I can’t abandon the hope that Momma will forgive me before she completely forgets me.
Brimming with wit, authenticity, and southern charm, FINALLY FREE is the inspirational and emotional journey of a family whose only way forward is to forget the past.
You’ll have to laugh with these women to keep from crying.

I never expected to be so torn between what I thought I wanted and the ranch I haven’t called home in years.
Brimming with wit, authenticity, and southern charm, FIRST FROST explores the inspirational and emotional healing of a family shattered by tragedy.
