Plucky Rose Linwood grew up on her grandfather\'s Arkansas tenant farm, a life her two older sisters never cared much for.
Originally from Texas, the Johnsons now enjoy the climate and scenery of the Carolinas, but they may never get used to the pulled pork Carolinians call "barbecue"! The Johnsons share their home with two very pampered rescue doggies who don\'t always understand the meaning of "Mom\'s trying to write.".
Seven grandchildren take up another big chunk of Myra\'s heart.
Married since 1972, Myra and her husband are the proud parents of two beautiful daughters who, along with their godly husbands, have huge hearts for ministry.
Myra is a two-time finalist for the prestigious ACFW Carol Awards, and her Heartsong Presents romance Autumn Rains (November 2009) won RWA\'s 2005 Golden Heart for Best Inspirational Romance Manuscript.
About the Author: Award-winning author Myra Johnson writes emotionally gripping stories about love, life, and faith.
He\'d give anything to win her heart, but Rose\'s stubborn independence is proving as thorny as the flower for which she\'s named.
Besides, he\'s been quietly falling in love with Rose since they were in grammar school, and the thought of leaving her behind is too much to bear.
He\'d let the farm go and search for work he\'s more suited to, except he can\'t desert his widowed mother.
Caleb Wieland, Rose\'s best friend, isn\'t the farmer his late father was, and he\'s about to lose his cotton crop to boll weevils.
Drifters looking for work or handouts roam the countryside, some of them up to no good, so Rose keeps her trusty Winchester rifle at the ready.
But crops have been slow to recover since the drought of 1930-31, and the whole country struggles in the grip of the Great Depression.
Now her sisters have married and moved on, Grandpa has gone to his eternal reward, and Rose is determined to make a go of the farm on her own.
Working alongside her grandpa, though, Rose learned to love the land as much as he did.
