Women of Fossil Ridge

Series · 3 books

By Lynne Gentry

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. Get all the books in the Women of Fossil Ridge #1 Flying Fossils #2 Finally Free #3 First Frost

This girl who grew up on a Kansas dairy farm never wanted to be a writer, but she has always been a storyteller. Her mother called it "Selling wind in a bag." Lynne started out writing plays and skits. Then in a moment of sheer insanity, she decided to take a stab at writing full-length novels. Reinventing Leona was her first and it is no longer in print. The Carthage Chronicles are her time travel/sci-fi series. The Mt. Hope Southern Adventures series starting with WALKING SHOES and The Women of Fossil Ridge series starting with FLYING FOSSILS are her contemporary romantic comedy series. And GHOST HEART and PORT OF ORIGIN are part of her Agents of Mercy Medical Thriller series. Lynne can milk a cow, drive a tractor, organize a banquet, prepare a kid for that first professional acting audition, or sit across the table and enjoy a cup of coffee with you. She loves spending time with her family and medical therapy dog.
