FLOWERS AND STONE
A hot Texas summer, dim-lit honky-tonk barrooms, a young naïve fledgling go-go dancer and a wild rebel Texas musician sets the stage for this story.
Can Darlina Flowers ever hope to fit in to this strange new world and even more important, can she trust Luke Stone with her heart?
Luke Stone, a good man who has made a career of bad decisions, falls as completely in love with Darlina as she does with him. But is it too late?
Will their eternal unyielding love survive the test of time, distance and iron bars?
This is a true story based on the lives of Rick and Jan Sikes.
THE CONVICT AND THE ROSE
Rebel Texas musician, Luke Stone, loses everything in life that he treasures when he is arrested and convicted of a crime he did not commit. How does a man deal with that kind of devastation? Not only is he locked away in a cage, he's left behind the woman who holds his heart.
Broken and alone, Darlina Flowers struggles to go on living without the man she loves so completely.
Follow their journey through shackles and chains, drugs and gurus as they fight to find their way to freedom.
The Convict and the Rose inspires hope and shows how anyone can turn a negative dark situation into a positive one. But more importantly, the story portrays a love that goes beyond earthly confines and proves how persistence and faith come with their own sweet reward.
This story is based on true events.
HOME AT LAST
With empty pockets and a heart full of dreams Luke Stone leaves behind the nightmare of fifteen long years in Leavenworth prison, not giving it a backward glance.
Eyes firmly on the future, he boards a Greyhound bus bound for Texas…for freedom…for the one who holds his heart. The unjust conviction no longer matters and revenge haunts him no more. Darlina Flowers, the woman who takes his breath away, waits ahead and with her by his side, nothing can stop him.
He is headed HOME AT LAST.
