About Cloudburst County: Secrets of Souls River Series by Teresa E. Nelson
“Cloudburst County” is Book 2 of the Secrets of Souls River Series. This two part-several decade novel tells the generational raw and real stories of a and couple and their daughter during the Great Depression, WWII and the Viet Nam era. When romance and crime cross paths in a small town and dark secrets come to light, people’s lives are suddenly and ruthlessly rearranged. It was no different with Rena Bjorkline and her family.
In 1936, Rena witnessed Beulah Marsoni stroll into neighbor John’s life and claim him as her own. When Beulah willingly shared excruciating secrets of romance and suspense, Rena found herself at the intersection of solid faith and heart-breaking fear.
She could handle hard farm work, family tragedy, and the devastating poverty of the Great Depression, but this dreadful news was the final straw. It was time to run.
A generation later, Buckthorn Bluff’s dream couple, beautiful waitress Lucinda Rae and charming champion Benny Lee were harboring their own secrets. No one must know the hidden trauma and evil forces of their lives.
They were locked in prisons of shame and fear, and their happy veneer didn’t fool anyone. Sooner or later, something had to be done to escape this terrifying existence.
Family members and friends sensed Lucinda Rae’s life was in turmoil, and they had to act before it was too late. Would their simple and untimely efforts make any difference in her tumultuous life?

Author Bio:
Teresa got a grip on her story-telling zeal and brought her fictitious characters and their circumstances to life on the written page as an adult later in life. A degree in communication, a career in teaching and human service work, a calling to ministry, raising a family in rural Minnesota, and a couple of “go-arounds” with cancer have given her plenty of experiences on which to weave tales of real life trimmed with faith and hope.
Her first book, Tender Mercies for Tough Moments: A 31 Day Journey into the Blessings of God gives readers helpful guidance for a faith-filled life.
Whisper County was her first novel. With readers demanding more, it quickly became Book 1 in the Secrets of Souls River Series. Cloudburst County is Book 2 and Book 3 will be forthcoming soon. More information is available at https://tenelsonbooks.com.
When not writing or preaching, Teresa finds additional enjoyment playing games with her nine precious grandchildren, reading, hunting, fishing, and cooking a farm-house meal for the guests at her table. Of course, the dinner is followed by a piece of blueberry pie and a good cup of coffee.
