Keeping Willow Creek - Hardcover

by Erika Taylor (Author)

Set against the backdrop of the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic, young George Byram is more than ready to leave his distant father and harsh life at Willow Creek, his family's farm in rural Idaho. Just as World War I ends, George's life begins to unravel when his mother dies suddenly from influenza, and the rest of his family becomes ill.

Unable to cope with the grief and responsibility of his young children, George's father makes a drastic decision that further alters the course of the family's life. In his darkest hour, George must now make an unimaginable choice.

Keeping Willow Creek is a coming of age story that provides a modern-day road map for moving forward after a pandemic. George Byram gives a fresh voice to modern feminism and shows how resilience is possible when we face our grief and embrace the roles we were meant to play.
