GRAVETTE — Sherri Beth Johnson made an impromptu stop at the Bank of Gravett on Tuesday, August 16, to sign her new book, "Georgiana," for the employees at the bank. "Georgiana" is Johnson's first book and is book one of The Andley Sisters Series, "Farmers Daughters." The book, a Christian romance, can be ordered on Amazon.com. in Kindle or paperback.
Johnson has announced that book two in the "Farmers Daughters" series will be "Valynn," book three is "Genevieve" and book four is "Augusta." All are set in historical times and faith and family are very important parts of the characters' lives. "Valyn" is coming in September and Johnson says, "Later this fall I will release 'Genevieve,' and then 'Augusta.'"
"I was blessed to get to sign copies of 'Georgiana' at the Bank of Gravett," Johnson said. "These women are like family to me. I've banked there since I was old enough to have an account. I worked there for three years and they were my support! During those three years my husband nearly cut his foot off and our little boy's health rapidly declined. They bought us groceries, took my weekend shifts and prayed for us. I am blessed to live in a community surrounded by friends who lift each other up and support one another."
Johnson really gets involved in the lives of her characters. Many of them are based on the lives of family members.
"I love each of the Andley sisters. I had so much fun writing each of their stories. They each have a unique personality and it made me want to go back in time and grow up alongside of them."
