Pipeline Hugh Harris

Waking up in Strong's Creek is culture shock enough until novice pastor Billy Upshur encounters the Frog Hollow "welcoming" reception. Rattled at first, he discovers it's all part of the fear an impending natural gas pipeline strikes in the hearts of people who feel victimized by an energy company behemoth. He soon learns the pipeline will destroy the home of a Cherokee healer, Mama Jean Trakker. Local people respect her house as sacred property, which fuels reactivity. A tree-sitting protest results in violence and increased anger. Volatile spring weather complicates things with unpredictable storms. When Frog Hollow native Cindy Barker offers to help Billy, they become attracted to each other. How will Billy handle the challenges? Will the protesters prevail in their struggle to stop the pipeline project? How will Billy and Cindy resolve their relationship? PIPELINE is a riveting story revolving around action, suspense, romance, and faith.
