SHAW POINT

Martha faces her unknown future with a broken heart, strong faith, and her best friend...
Insight
In a period not often explored in prose, "Shaw Point" draws the reader in as easily as a train ushers its passengers to their destination. The world of Virginia in the post "Great War" era is one of transition. "Shaw Point" delightfully tells of transitions of geography, society, and character all with ease, insight, humor, and drama."
