The Jumping Off Place - Paperback

by Carol Christian West (Author)

"The Red Dress" and "The Crossroads.", two stories I wrote many years ago grew into a novel. I wrote, THE JUMPING-OFF PLACE, about a fire in the same small town. It shook the whole community of Sweetwater, especially the victim's sister. Then Ollie investigated the fi re, she encountered dangers she didn't see coming, through two enemies, even a brother who returned home to Sweetwater. The Pentecostal Church stood in the middle of Sweetwater and so did Galveston Hobbs, a minister who didn't fl inch from addressing controversial subjects with his congregation, only he didn't know about the greed that was rampant as two men sought their new fortunes.
