Dear Reader,

I hope you enjoyed the story of Gideon’s struggle to return to his Amish faith. Both he and Rebecca made bad decisions for the wrong reasons when they were young. Oh, if only we knew at twenty the things we knew by the time we were forty. A lot fewer mistakes might be made.

Life happens, but we don’t often get the chance for a do-over. Fortunately, I can give my characters that chance. In the same way, God gives us that chance when we admit our mistakes. We get the chance to wipe the slate clean, to start over with a whole heart and a sense of His purpose in our lives.

By the way, the story of how Adam and Emma Troyer met can be found as a free online read at www.Harlequin.com. Just search the archives for a story called The Inn at Hope Springs.

May the Lord bless and keep you and may He shine the light of His love upon you. I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
