"Reflecting Gold" by  Cynthia L. Simmons is the second book in the "Southern Gold" series.  I think a reader could read it as a standalone but once again I am glad I read the first one to get the whole story. 

This book kept me turning the pages because I had to know who was stealing the gold from the bank and who was killing people.

I really liked the ending except for the not so happy part about Anna. Now, I know you are wanting to know what happened to Anna, so get this book and read its and then you will know. 

These books are about trusting God with business and family and doing the right thing.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from Cynthia

The same year my first book came out, my husband came down with encephalitis. In simple terms, his brain was infected. He’d been sick for several days with a mild headache and temperature, and our doctor thought he had the flu. One morning I watched him slide into the floor as a grand mal seizure ravaged his body. I remember thinking this couldn’t be happening. I’m a nurse, and I was reviewing his medical history in my mind. Seizures didn’t fit with anything on either side of his family, and I wanted to deny what I saw. Needless to say, our life changed dramatically for several years as we walked through dark times. My husband spent 11 days in intermediate intensive care and came home on IV medications. For several weeks he had partial seizures the doctors couldn’t control. However, I learned so much during that time, and I’ve shared lessons from that time. In Reflecting Gold, I demonstrate how we can reflect the beauty of God even in the middle of heartbreak.
