In the heart of the land between the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, Emma Sue Martin was born motherless in 1900. From a young age, she learned grit and determination from her stern father, who raised her to take over their five-hundred-acre farm, a family legacy that had been passed down since 1781. When her father died when she was seventeen, Emma Sue inherited the land and became a woman in a man's world, fighting to keep her farm and her independence. But in 1935, the federal government launched a systematic, forced removal campaign of Emma Sue and her neighbors. Many gave in, but not Emma Sue. With unshakable spirit, she stood her ground and fought back, telling authorities, "Why should I move and make my home somewhere else when I'm already home?” Her epic battle against big government is a story of courage and determination that will captivate and inspire you. Between the Rivers is a historical drama that spans generations, a family saga of love, loss, and sacrifice. Emma Sue unintentionally fell in love with Sam Holden at the age of forty-one, and they finally married when she was fifty-two. But there are secrets between them that will threaten the fabric of their love. Based on true events, Between the Rivers is a powerful American historical fiction that tells the story of one woman's fight against all odds. Join Emma Sue Martin on her journey, and discover the fierce dedication and unyielding spirit that make her a true American heroine.
