A Diamond in the Rough is a tale of triumph, tragedy,
deceit, and love that spans three generations and two
continents. Journey with the McCartney family from
the rugged hunting grounds of the Colorado mountains,
where one can hear snow melting from the trees,
to the spectacular countryside of South Africa, where
one can hear the elephants tromping over trees.
Their thriving safari business is adventure enough for
Matt, but his sister Jess is seeking more. When she
returns to the States to live out her altruistic ideologies,
however, she becomes entangled in a sinister plot
About the Author
Millie Kelley grew up in the small community of Bear Grass, North Carolina, where everyone knows everyone. Her interest in writing began in Junior High School when she contributed to a creative writing book (poetry, short stories, etc.) that was distributed to other schools in the area. Millie resides in Knightdale, North Carolina, with her loving family. They are an inspiration and a pillar of support as Millie nurtures her creative spirit through her writing. She hopes this is the first of many novels. Enjoy.
