Still reeling from tragic losses, Connie and Annabelle Cross face life with their signature humor and grace, until fresh hope arrives on their doorstep.

In early spring of 1955, Annabelle Cross and her daughter-in-law, Connie have nearly made it through the first winter on their own. Then the skies open up as West Tennessee and much of the south endures one of the worst floods in history. As many of their neighbors endure losses due to the flooding, Annabelle and Connie sit tight on dry ground.

As spring gives way to summer, Annabelle begins to dread Connie’s upcoming marriage and removal to Sutter’s Landing. Though she’s happy to note the growing affection between Alton Wade and her daughter-in-law, their marriage means Annabelle will be on her own for the first time in her life.

Connie’s doubts increase when Alton’s bigoted brother Jensen uses every opportunity to drive a wedge between them. Is she doing the right thing? Did she move too quickly? Unexpected summer visitors and anticipation of a new neighbor provide diversion and open possibilities for both Annabelle and Connie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sutter's Landing by Betty Owens is a great sequel to Annabelle's Ruth

Sutter's Landing by Betty Owens is a great sequel to Annabelle's Ruth. The story which I so enjoyed is continued with new characters and places that expand a small town that I feel I know so well already. The setting is realistic and the characters make the story alive, one you don't want to put down. And I loved the ending. I highly recommend this lovely story...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lovely Visit to the Past
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017
The year is 1955, and although they don’t have a comfortable life, Connie and Annabelle are happy to be home in Trenton, Tennessee. But as Connie’s marriage draws closer, Annabelle worries about being alone. Something she doesn’t look forward to after losing her husband and sons. But, when an old friend shows up on her doorstep with a plan, Annabelle must make a decision to hold to her beliefs or live out her days alone.

Owens gently weaves a picture of the South with all its charm and bigotry. Through Connie’s eyes, we feel the pain when asked to leave a store because of color. We understand her remorse when friends are not treated like other folks. And we empathize with her when she and Alton are kept apart by family members.

One of my favorite scenes is the accidental meeting with a famous singer. I found the song mentioned on Youtube. I loved the fact that Owens included that particular part of history in her book because it made the story pop.

I have another favorite scene where one character is praying. I can’t share all the details without revealing too much. But I wanted to explain why this story will stay with me for a long time. During this particular scene, I suddenly had an epiphany of how the Lord continually watches over us, loving us, even though we may not return His love. And yet, He is still part of our lives whether we want Him or not.

How sad it must be to love and watch over and not have that love returned!

Although the author didn’t bring out my spiritual thoughts, the scene was the springboard that catapulted me into a wonderous moment. And that, my friend, is why I give Sutter’s Landing 5 hearts.

The second installment in the Kinsman Redeemer series is a crawl-into-your-favorite-chair-and-sit-awhile kinda book. Anyone who enjoys family, history, and the South, will enjoy Sutter’s Landing by Betty Thomason Owens.

I received an advance reader’s copy from the author. All views expressed are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent writing, clean and inspirational read
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2017
Book 1 in the Kinsman Redeemer series told the story of Annabelle Cross, who lost her husband and two grown sons, and of Connie Cross, one of Annabelle’s daughters-in-law. Book 2, Sutter’s Landing, opens with the two women making a new life for themselves in Annabelle’s childhood home in rural Tennessee. A remake of the story of Ruth and Naomi, their journey is one of faith, love, trust, patience, and determination. The strength and courage these two women demonstrate is emotionally riveting and truly motivating.
The author’s depiction of life in the segregated south of the 1950s is both realistic and insightful. She paints an accurate picture of how hard the people in this cotton-centric community worked just to live day by day, and she does it with respect, humility, honesty, and without the Hollywood sensationalism or stereotyping. She also shows their faith with gentle, non-threatening assurance. Sutter’s Landing is a sweet, inspirational, and very well written story where the characters come alive on the pages. Their dialogue so realistic you find yourself right there with them, wanting to join in on the conversations.
I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. In my opinion, Betty Owens has given us a superior book, one that’s clean, and immensely enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical, romance, women’s fiction, and inspirational stories.

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2017
I have followed Betty Thomason Owens for a long time. I first fell in love with her "Lady of the Haven" books and have been a fan every since. with Sutter's Landing she has once again hit the ball out of the park. Betty's characters are always engaging and I love how she is able to weave a love story or two into a subplot without letting them take over the entire plot. Betty's writing is always sprinkled with biblical lessons and principles in such a way as to cause me to reflect and think about my own spiritual walk. "Sutter's Landing" was a wonderful follow up to her "Annabelle's Ruth." I finished this book feeling as if I had just spent a wonderful retreat on a Southern plantation. I anxiously await for her next book!
