Once an inquisitive orphan, Henry is now heading out into the world as a newspaper reporter. Very determined to know the truth of things, he also has a strong sense of loyalty. Henry and his fellow reporter, David King, are working on a story of a riverboat gambler who was found dead in the cargo hole of the paddle boat Mississippi Queen, with nothing on him but a picture of the children of Magnolia Grove Orphans Home, half a queen of hearts playing card, and a poker chip. In trying to solve the mystery of the gambler's death, Henry and David travel a road filled with twists and turns, only to find that all roads lead back to Magnolia Grove Orphans Home. Who is the queen of hearts and will the secrets they discover destroy other lives? PeeWee Hardesty works for a construction company in a small Kentucky town. She has always been fascinated with the stories her grandparents told about how hard times were in the old days. When I see a child or an adult that looks to be sad, I wonder what their story is and what they are feeling.When I see someone sad, I always think, no family, no one to talk to. This was her inspiration to begin writing her first book. Her second book is a sequel about Henry of Magnolia Grove. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/PeeWeeHardest
