This great debut from Candace Cox Wheeler is becoming what we call an evergreen, as sales continue from year to year and drive readers toward her second and third novels SQUALL IN THE GULF and SUNSET IN THE SOUND. If you haven't read Candace's work, or if you're in need of a thoughtful Mother's Day gift, pick up a signed copy of CRADLE IN THE OAK from Hillyer House in lovely Ocean Springs!
