The birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus means that one day everything sad will come untrue.
~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Psalms 27:9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Glimmer of Hope by Sarah M. Eden Regency Romance. While this is not part of The Lancaster Family series, it fits here chronologically. Lord Devereaux makes a brief appearance in Courting Miss Lancaster. However, it is listed as a stand alone story, not a part of any series. The story surprised me. A keeper.

Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so the current can't separate them. They call it rafting -- whole families floating together, paws linked, drifting through the night as one. No otter taught a class on it. It's just what love looks like when you live on moving water. And don't we all live on moving water? Time pulls, life drifts, currents come. Hold hands with your people on purpose -- the Sunday call, the standing dinner, the goodnight text. It's not sentimental. It's seamanship. ~ amazingQuotesWorld

Celebrate with a story.
Faith's Labor
The fifth novella in the series.
Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and maybe a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.
Organic herb farmer Faith Walker regrets many things in her life, none as much as marrying a man who divorced her after their wedding night, leaving her pregnant and alone.
Horse trainer Dusty Harper crushed on Faith all his life. What is he supposed to do when she drops back into his life and turns his world upside down?
God provides unexpected answers to those who seek His will...
