This Good Thing

Legacy and identity, founded on hope-filled faith, infuse the tales of the soul written from the heart of Joy E. Rancatore. Her Carolina's Legacy Collection embraces everyday moments that constitute a lifetime and its heritage. Told around multiple related characters, this collection of Southern fiction with Christian roots explores faith, life, death and the demons within through four mediums-novel, novella, short stories and epistolary. An award-winning, multi-genre Indie Author, Joy believes extraordinary things await her characters and their tales. Despite a fondness for her roles as author, editor, podcaster and speaker, Joy remains a hobbit at heart with Bilbo's zeal for mountains. She enjoys a life of quiet stillness with her husband, two children, dog and cat and more books than she's willing to count. When daily homeschool lessons are complete, she eagerly prepares for teatime before writing your next favorite story.
