The House That Fell: Based on the True Story of Betty Jackson - Paperback

by Thomas A. Briscoe (Author)

In a rural Missouri town during the 1950's, Betty Jackson was a normal American young lady who sought meaning in the midst of hardship. As a woman of color, an ordinary day consisted of overcoming unimaginable bouts with not only poverty, discrimination, and segregation, but also spiritual warfare in the form of police brutality and systemic oppression. Raised in a family bound by love and an unshakable courage, Betty soon learns that tolerating unbearable circumstances doesn't measure strength, but by the spiritual promises and a zealous determination that both lead her into her higher calling and purpose. Despite continued tragedy, she must learn to persevere as her ancestors before her. When Betty discovers that her family has gifts of prophecy, dreams, visions, and other interactions with the supernatural realm, she is led into a new world where her hidden identity and calling is revealed. But will this new knowledge be enough to triumph over a nation that seems to hate her solely because of her skin color? Inspired by a true story, The House That Fell is a moving tale of endurance and an overcoming faith that will lift every reader. It reminds us that miracles are not confined to ancient times -- they live in ordinary people who refuse to give up their dreams. As more sinister plans reach fatal heights, will Betty's family survive the incredible odds or be destroyed by violence? This story will leave you in awe at the resilience of the human soul. Hope still lives in the soil of suffering.
