Chapter 1 – The River White (Pt. 1 of 4) Jeannie Morrell stumbled through the thicket that morning more than she ever had previously. Though her

Today is a HUGE day!!!! I am so thrilled and proud to say that you can now find below a full, extended version of the song “When the Shadows Run,” which Jeannie Morrell sings to herself in chapter 3 of Crimson River!
