Popular author of inspirational fiction Penelope J. Stokes captivates fans with her heartwarming, true-to-life novels. In The Amethyst Heart, she weaves the past and present into an unforgettable story of one Mississippi family's joy, sorrow, and hope. Amethyst's 93rd birthday celebration is a big disappointment. Not only has her great-granddaughter "Little Am" become a sullen stranger, but her son Conrad announces plans to sell the historical family home and put his mother into a retirement facility. When Conrad leaves to get the realtor, Amethyst pulls out a 12-gauge shotgun, then rushes to lock the doors. While great-grandmother and great-granddaughter anxiously wait for Conrad's return, Amethyst passes on the family's rich legacy of stories-but will she be able to protect her beloved home? Narrator Cristine McMurdo-Wallis' stirring performance transports you from the days of pre-Civil War plantations, through the turbulent unrest of the 60s, to the present-day South.
