The Widow of Saunders Creek: A Novel
Praise forThe Widow of Saunders Creek“Tracey Bateman has the extraordinary gift of plummeting into the human soul and finding the deep and complex facets for which we most need redemption and hope. She weaves emotion and truth and all the things we fear and grieve into a story that touches and challenges the heart, while reminding us there is an unseen world as close as ourown breath. The Widow of Saunders Creek is one of her finest.”     —Rene Gutteridge, author of Listen and Possession“Bateman does a superb job of bringing her characters vividly to life and giving the reader a taste of what it would be like to live in the Ozarks, where superstition and the supernatural are alive and well.”      —Debbie Viguié, author of Kiss of Night“Tracey Bateman has a winner on her hands. I started the book intending to read just a little then put it down. I couldn’t. I had to read and read all the way to the end. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. This is a wonderful story about moving past grief and realizing it’s possible to fall in love again. This book has a fabulous love story. It has a chilling confrontation between good and evil and shows us how calling on the power of Jesus’s name can stop evil in its tracks. I can’t wait for the next book by Tracey.”     —Lynette Eason, author of When the Smoke ClearsPraise for Tracey Bateman“Deep, cutting, an intoxicating blend of human and supernatural, of characters scarred by the past, drained by life. This is the book I’ve waited for.”      — Tosca Lee, author of Forbidden with Ted Dekker and Demon: A Memoir“…raises thought-provoking questions concerning who and what one lives for. These themes are worked in nicely and eventually set up a beautiful and hopeful conclusion.”     —The Christian Manifesto for Tandem“Bateman has written a page turner with a compelling vampire character that will set evangelical Christian readers talking.”      —Publishers Weekly on Thirsty“I loved the way Tracey Bateman incorporated the struggle against alcoholism into the theme [of Thirsty]. Great writing and a compelling read!”      — Colleen Coble, author of Lonestar Secrets and the Rock Harbor series
