Book excerpt: In a world divided by blood and race, Veralee Harper comes of age under the guardian oaks of her family's isolated plantation in southern Alabama. Red Oaks stands frozen in time, a haven for Simulacrum people for generations, against the chaotic world of the Friguscor. Life quickly unravels when her own split second decision breaks the Simulacrum law she is bound to keep. The blood moons have begun, the watchers have returned and war with the cold-hearts, the Friguscor seems inevitable. As she struggles to reconcile deep love for her family and loyalty to her people with the reality she is coming to know and the love she finds for a mysterious man, she realizes she is marked by more than the tseeyen on her arm. Many have a plan for Veralee Harper, but only she can decide which way it will end."'The Oaks Remain' is an engaging page-turner that creates a fantasy world so real, you feel you are living inside the pages. Veralee's journey is a fast-paced epic that as a theologian can be pulled apart, layer-by-layer to see the deeper meanings of life." - Dr. E. Andrew Blackmon (Pensacola, FL)"A heart-stirring saga that touches every part of human existence, carrying you through passion, pain, mystery and triumph, leaving you speechless in the end...'The Oaks Remain' is a true pleasure to read." -Dr. Thomas Childs, author of Christian Logic series, founding pastor of LifePoint Church (Haslet, TX)"'The Oaks Remain' is a boldly imaginative, apocalyptic coming-of-age story that makes thoughtful readers reconsider our assumptions about tradition and loyalty, personal responsibility for one's life and-especially-the choice and the value of love. Highly recommended!" -Janell Walden Agyeman, Literary Agent/Publishing Consultant
