Posted by admin in Marlene's Books on Feb 16, 2012
GREENWOOD AND ARCHER, the sequel novel to SON OF A PREACHERMAN takes the reader back to Greenwoodwood District in the 1920s during its restoration from the devastating race riot. Lives have been drastically changed since the riot and its citizens defiantly rebuild their piece of prosperity. Tulsa Oklahoma is as segregated as ever but doesn’t want the whole nation watching. Additional tension festers as prohibition brings Chicago gangsters to settle in the oil rich boomtown. Violent tragedy revisits the barely recuperating community demonstrating the Almighty hand of God having to once again untangle the mess men make.
Benny Freeman and Billy Ray Matthias navigate more hurdles in their relationship. Faith carried them through once but has their trust in God been tested to its human limit? Are they able to continue holding on to God…and each other?
Greenwood and Archer is a continuation of Son of a Preacherman’s characters, place and time. Although it is possible to read it as a stand alone novel the reader will get more substance and enjoyment from it after reading Son of a Preacherman.

I fell in love with the story of Billy Ray and Benny…, and can’t wait until I can slip back into the the life and love of Benny and Billy Ray.
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the story. Hope you like Greenwood and Archer too. Have you read Ruth’s Redemption? It too is a historical romance.
Happy reading!
I just finished reading Son of a Preacherman and I must say it was an AWESOME novel. I am a fifth grade Social Studies teacher and we cover this time period and I was absolutely blown away about the history that existed in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I could not put this book down. It has all of the elements of real life situations balanced with the wisdom of God’s Word to see the main characters through “the trying of their faith”. I can’t wait to read the sequel, Greenwood and Archer. Let’s just say that I’m getting a head start on my summer reading
God Bless!
Donna, your approval of the novel and it’s spiritual and historical content is most gratifying. Yes that time period is certainly a serious study in the social pulse of our nation. My novels are not deep history texts as you are accustomed, I’m sure but I try to be accurate with the little tidbits I include amongst the drama.
