Yuletide Hearts, 4 Stars, Romantic Times Review! Two soldiers, both hurting. An old town with long memories. Old wrongs.
New beginnings.
When Matt Cavanaugh returns to his Allegany County town, he's not as rough around the edges as he used
to be. A marine and now a successful housing contractor, a man who believes in the Lord and old-fashioned hard work. But when
he buys a bankrupt subdivision, he discovers he's stepped on single mother Callie Burdick's dreams for her own family... And
when Matt learns about Callie's troubled past, he's determined to rebuild her trust... plus an entire community... in time
for Christmas.

“Jeff Brennan is unhappy when his half-brother, who had put the family through a
lot, returns after 20 years. Jeff cannot, or will not, forgive him. Then he meets Hannah Moore, to whom he is strongly
attracted, yet who has trouble separating him and his job as CEO from her ex-fiance who was ambition driven. Hannah also has
her own forgiving to do. The main person she must forgive is herself, for a tragedy in her past she couldn't prevent.
This emotionally satisfying Man of Allegany
County story addresses the need to forgive and be forgiven,
accept the past and embrace the future, all wrapped around a complicated and utterly compelling romance.” |

| Ultimate truism: If you plant enough flowers, the dandelions blend in.. |
This nice picture totally misrepresents the current state of my gardens which are accurately referred
to as jungles complete with creepy, crawlies, long-legged beasties, poison ivy and things that go bump in the night. Did I
mention there's a black bear living nearby? And coyotes, fox, deer, turkeys, the occasional rat and muskrat... Dare I go on? But for website purposes, this works. Sweet. Bucolic. Pastoral. Definitely a page from the archives, LOL! Still, since I LOVE gardening and refuse to let poison ivy defeat me, I posted this as a reminder that given time
and circumstance, I too can have a picturesque setting. For a day, at least!
