Black Lightning, Book 1: Seven Secret Wives

Seven Secret Wives is the story of an Amish farm wife who is pushed down violently by her mentally ill husband. Landing on her very large, pregnant belly, she loses a seven month old daughter who lives fifteen minutes in her arms. Her asthmatic, five year old son runs for help to a neighboring farm and dies from exposure to the elements. In one week, Naomi Toombs buries two children and her husband walks away in the morning rain and disappears. For five years, she waits for him to return; thinking he is schizophrenic. Deciding that her husband has to be dead, she decides to make a new life for herself amongst the English. A chain of events lead Naomi to the discovery that her husband is not dead, but has seven secrets. Black Lightning strikes and angels cry.
