Jacob's Secret

by H.C. Hewitt

From doctor dilemmas to bootlegging, there wasn’t anything that didn’t happen in Abbington Pickets…

Jacob Hudson was back from The Great War to find things weren’t the same as they were when he left. He thought his life was no different from any other soldier who went overseas. He fought for his country, faced death, witnessed unimaginable cruelty and would live to remember it forever.
Jacob had come home to his devoted wife and children and tried to pick up where he had left off. However it wasn’t as easy as he thought. Jacob had a secret. It started out small. But now, he struggled with his conscience, his walk with God and wanting to be truthful with Abigail. Yet Jacob soon discovered he wasn’t the only one with a secret.

About the author

H. C. (Heather “Corinne”) Hewitt grew up on a farm on the edge of the Moose Mountains, northwest of Manor, Saskatchewan, where she developed a deep appreciation for the rural prairie landscape and the people who live there. She has been passionate about reading and writing from an early age and always knew that she would someday write a novel. Her grandmother’s extensive knowledge of Saskatchewan history and her grandfather’s collection of antiques sparked an enduring love of history, especially of the era in which her novel series unfolds. Her story’s setting in the series of Abbington Pickets was inspired by the Cannington Manor History Park, which was founded in 1882 by Englishman, Captain Pearce who set out to create a Victorian village in Canada.
H. C. Hewitt’s other passions are quilting, designing quilt and embroidery patterns, as well as collecting antiques. She and her husband, Kenny, farm with her dad as well as their son on their five-generation family farm. They have four grown children and seven grandchildren, with whom they love to spend time with.
