What\u2019s in store for her, finding hope and courage with LillieBeth Hazkit or more rejection? When Bald Knobbers bent on keeping their mountains for whites only, visit them, Mercy wants to run, but there isn\u2019t anywhere to go. LillieBeth, with true Hazkit style, refusing to yield or bend, they confront the evil together.<\/p>\n<p>Can Mercy learn to live with Leota Wikoff at the Hazkit\u2019s, no less racist than the Bald Knobbers willing to lynch her? Can she learn farm life or will she be a burden to the young woman who rescued her? Can a small jasper stone give Mercy the courage to be strong?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Print Length:<\/b> 174 pages<\/li>\n<li><b>Publisher:<\/b> CreatSpace<\/li>\n<li><b>Publication Date:<\/b> October 23, 201<\/li>\n<li><b>Language:<\/b> English<\/li>\n<li><b>ASIN:<\/b> B0173PRSQS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_548\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-548\" style=\"width: 186px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Jaspers-Courage-Ozark-Mountain-Book-ebook\/dp\/B0173PRSQS\/ref=la_B00D9RUGRI_1_16?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1445709970&amp;sr=1-16&amp;refinements=p_82%3AB00D9RUGRI\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-548 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/alanblackauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Amazon-Button.jpg\" alt=\"Go to Amazon.com to buy\" width=\"186\" height=\"59\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Go to Amazon.com to buy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_550\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-550\" style=\"width: 193px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dogearedpagesusedbooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-550 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/alanblackauthor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Dog-Eared-Pages-Button.jpg\" alt=\"Go to Dog Eared Pages for an autographed copy\" width=\"193\" height=\"46\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-550\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Go to Dog Eared Pages for an autographed copy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jasper&rsquo;s Courage<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":628,"menu_order":36,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-906","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.4 -
