Wait for Me-A Haunting Tale of Love and Devotion
With a nation on the brink of collapse, Stephen and Etta Pearl find a love as fierce as it is fragile. Soon separated by war, Stephen pours out his feelings in letters to his beloved, begging her to wait for him. Their love only strengthens through the distance, hardships, and trials they must face.
The couple reunite in marriage amid the ruins of their lives. When death comes too soon, their souls find refuge in their painted likenesses that once hung proudly in their home—two portraits, side by side.
The portraits become separated and with them the spirits of Stephen and Etta Pearl drift—yearning, waiting. As the years pass, their anguished search unfolds through thrift stores, collector’s homes, and antique shops, each brushstroke holding the echo of a long ago promise: wait for me.
A haunting tale of eternal love and devotion, Wait For Me is a journey across time where even death cannot stop a love written in the stars.

That mere words cannot contain it?
A Postponed Romance-The Love Story of Hank and Emma
Too often we rush through our lives, never taking time to appreciate the small things that make life so special. These small moments go by so quickly and often can pass us by before we realize it’s too late and those moments may be only left in our memories.
I want to write it all down so I don’t forget. I’m scared I won’t remember the small details and our story will fade into nothingness.
It started out as a great friendship and changed into something I never dared dream I would experience.
We were two souls finding each other after years spent apart. Two parts of a whole, two missing pieces that finished the puzzle and produced a beautiful picture.
But all love stories, even when they start out like a fairy tale, do not necessarily end as one.
A favorite spot up on the hill
A closeness not known before to feel.
I miss the feel of your hand in mine
The taste on your lips of our favorite wine.
My love for you is deep and wide
My broken heart where love abides.
Now filled with sadness, tears, and grief
Our time together too short, too brief.
You showed me unconditional love
And look on me from up above.
I know in heaven you now wait
And will meet me by that pearly gate.

A Reflection of Grace-A Story of Redemption
Abigail has spent her life being everything to everybody. So how did she find herself here–divorced, lonely, hopeless, and planning her own suicide? In desperation, she cries out for God to see her pain and send her a miracle. Silence. Even He, too, has forsaken her. Determined now, she is stopped only by a sound at her door. Crying. It’s not her problem. It becomes louder.
Unable to ignore the sound any longer, she looks out and sees a small girl on her doorstep. Opening the door and her life, she takes the child’s hand. Will her desire to help the abandoned girl cause Abigail to lay aside the plans to end her life? Or will the insistent whispers of “it’s not my problem” triumph over her conscience?
A Stone’s Throw-Living With a Loved One’s Depression
Are you struggling with a loved one’s illness? Do you struggle with feelings of loneliness, sadness, and anger? Do you feel guilty for having those feelings because you aren’t the one who is actually ill? Do you find yourself wanting to run far away even for just a little while? Do you wish there was someone you could talk to that could validate these feelings? I couldn’t find anyone or any book to let me know that these feelings were normal and nothing to be ashamed of. This book came out of that search. It is my story of living with a loved one’s depression. It was not written as a guide to dealing with their depression, but as a validation of the feelings that we, the caregivers, feel every day. I hope it helps you find comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone in your feelings. Others have been there, are there now, and we understand.
