Our new house is nice and also has trees lining the whole backyard. But it's still hard to give up on a dream. This is the house I had prayed for. Have you ever had to give up on a dream? It can be very hard, but if we put our trust in God, He will bring us through. And He can give us a new dream.
In my book, The Prodigal's Shotgun Wedding, Clay is returning home after years away. He left shortly after his father blamed him for his brother's death. Now he's hoping for a fresh start, but when the stagecoach he’s riding in wrecks and he is injured, he finds himself in a fight for survival.
Jolie is fleeing a nightmare situation. She desperately hopes becoming a mail-order bride doesn’t land her in a worse place. When the stage crashes and she spends the night alone with a wounded man, she wonders if her intended will still want her. If he doesn’t, what will she do? She has no money and nowhere to go.
Clay's dream doesn't turn out as he had hoped, but a troubling situation, turns to good, and he has a whole new dream.
This is the final week to get The Prodigal's Shotgun Wedding for just 99 cents.
