Читать книгу A Texas Holiday Miracle - Linda Warren, Linda Warren - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

Welcome back to Horseshoe, Texas (The Sheriff of Horseshoe, Texas, Mills & Boon American Romance, March 2009; One Night in Texas, Mills & Boon American Romance, May 2014). This is a story about learning to love and live again. I have to warn you—there are some scenes that are sad, but if you hang in there, you’ll cheer for Lacey and Gabe and maybe even shed a few tears of joy for them.

This story came out of nowhere. Late one night I was watching reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond. Ray wanted to tell Ally the truth about Santa Claus. Debra was adamantly against it. Back and forth it went with their crazy antics. Then I read a story on the internet about a woman who had lost her husband and wanted to make Christmas special for her little girl. But all the little girl wanted was for her daddy to come home. These two things got me thinking. What would you do if someone told your child there was no Santa Claus? No Christmas? And what if you had to handle it alone while dealing with a heartbreaking loss?

We’ve all lost loved ones and know how difficult it is to let go. Lacey has lost her father and has guardianship of her six-year-old half sister, Emma. Her next-door neighbor, Gabe Garrison, has lost his eight-year-old son in an accident. This was a difficult story to write because of the grief, but a dog named Pepper and a little girl who doesn’t believe in Christmas anymore pulls it all together in an unimaginable way. Keep reading to the very last page and you’ll believe in miracles, too.

Merry Christmas!

With love and thanks,

Linda Warren
