Читать книгу Lone Star Refuge - Mae & Gwen Nunn & Ford Faulkenberry - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

The Deep in the Heart series was the brainchild of my friend and writer extraordinaire Mae Nunn. I was blessed to have the opportunity to collaborate with her on the third and fourth books in the series and to give life to the two oldest Temple brothers, Joiner and Mac.

Lone Star Refuge is Joiner’s story. Sprinkled throughout it you will find many references to stars, beginning with the heroine, who is named after my youngest daughter, Stella. I had fun with this imagery, building on Texas as the Lone Star State, but as I dug deeper into the story a couple of themes very close to my heart emerged—faith and family—and I realized that just as these are the two things that guide my life, they would also become the stars by which my characters would learn to navigate theirs.

Stella and Joiner both suffered losses in their formative years that make it challenging to trust, to commit to love with all of its joys and complications. Theirs, I hope, is a story of real people growing together to find a place of safety with each other, even as they work to create a refuge for others.

Thanks for joining me on this journey! I’d love to hear from you by email at gfaulkenberry@hotmail.com, or on Facebook, Gwendolann Adell Ford Faulkenberry.

Blessings,

Gwen
