I’ll Never Be Free: The Fires of Love & Hate   Book 1

 

Hattie Morran is an uneducated dirt farmer’s daughter from a small town in Missouri. Not having had any of the advantages in life, she is not much more than some would call the salt of the earth. That is until Rebecca Garland decides to surpass both her son and her husband and leave her fortune to Hattie. 

“Miss Hattie, I want you to go ahead as planned and marry Abner, for two good reasons. First of all, I love you, and nothing would make me happier than to have you as my daughter-in-law. Secondly, when you marry Abner, you will become my legal heir, which would empower me to legally give or transfer any part of my fortune to you.”

This of course causes unbelievable problems for the young Miss Hattie.  It seems that her advantages in life tend to walk hand in hand with her struggles.

I’ll Never Be Free: Written In The Stars   Book 2

 With the death of so many people in young Miss Hattie's life, it is finally time for her to move on.  With the help of Matthew and a rejuvenated outlook on life Hattie helps to build a Financial Empire that will last for generations after her death.  

"Believe me when I say, Walker, that none of us ever expected to become a part of an American Dynasty. But that's exactly what has happened to us as a family. We, the Morran’s living today, are having to learn first hand those things which will come naturally to the generations who follow. Hopefully, our children and grandchildren, which Hattie's wealth empowers, who I refer to as `The Children of the Legacy,' will be like Kenneth and the Robertson sisters. They will grow up knowing what is expected of them instinctively."

No doubt this brings the sharks out in the water.  Hattie is taken through some of the hardest times in her life...Will she be able to stand up against the powers against her.

 

I’ll Never Be Free: Broken Promises and Shattered Dreams  Book 3

With the building of Feather Ridge and the start of a new place, things appear to be on the rise for Miss Hattie.  Still plagued by ex-husband "Abner Garland" and others in her life Hattie is finally able to start to put things in the past.  Hattie now takes the time to devote her attention to her family, but are some of her children already lost to the wilds of their own lives?

“How could I do that, Judge? My son is “As Guilty As Sin.” He kidnapped Beverly and their son from her mother’s home, knowing it was the wrong thing to do. I don’t care if the doctors have said it wasn’t his fault, because he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Miles knew that what he was doing was wrong!” Matthew reached over and touched her hand to calm her. She realized she was becoming angry, just thinking of what had happened, and taking Matthew’s cue, leaned back in her chair. “Your Honor, Miles may as well have taken a gun to my daughter-in-law and my grandson, as to have tried to outrun that train by crossing in front of it. I want you to understand, I love my son with all my heart, but in no way can I condone what he has done. As far as I am concerned, the only way he can rectify himself before society and God is to pay for his crime.” 

Even though things sometime look the darkest there is still light in all situations. And while it would appear to some that Hattie might have failed with Miles could there still be hope for her other children?
