\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I\u2019m a wife, mother, and bona fide Southern belle. Published author, expert corn bread maker, and Squirrel Princess.<\/p>\n

I live in Tulsa, though I was born in Mississippi. I moved to the Sooner State when I was seventeen and met my soul mate and best friend not long after. I\u2019ve retained a little of my Mississippi accent though most people think I\u2019m from Texas. (?) Rob and I have been married for over twenty years and have a son\u2013a mom proclaimed prodigy, of course!<\/p>\n

I love homemade tacos, shoes, and romance novels\u2013not necessarily in that order. I\u2019m a big fan of country music, a staunch proponent of saving the Oxford comma, and I\u2019m shamefully obsessed with all things Harry Potter.<\/p>\n

I believe that God is love. I guess that\u2019s why I adore romances.<\/p>\n

I have always been intrigued with the Amish culture, their gentle ways and slower-paced lifestyle. (And I love, love, love the fact that they stay married for their lifetime.) But until recently I never thought to blend this interest with my penchant for romance. Okay, okay, I\u2019m a bit old-fashioned and even enjoy the gender roles that are present in this culture. I love to cook and take care of my family. Yes, that\u2019s me June Cleaver with a laptop.<\/p>\n

I dislike people trying to convince me to read the Twilight series (I\u2019ll get to it or I won\u2019t, either way I\u2019m good with it), gratuitous violence, and strawberry ice cream. (I know I\u2019m alone on this last one, and again, I\u2019m good with it.)<\/p>\n

Favorite movies\u2013(besides HP) French Kiss, Maid of Honor, A Lot Like Love, Just Married, and Sweet Home Alabama. Oh, and Miss Congeniality, Sabrina (both versions) and a 1940?s movie called Dear Ruth. If you haven\u2019t seen it, you should! A-dorable. Anything with Doris Day and most all of Marilyn\u2019s and Audrey\u2019s.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span>Rachel Yoder has two choices: marry Gabriel Fisher or move to Ohio. As an orphan, Rachel doesn\u2019t have much to offer; any match she can make will be a good one. She just didn\u2019t plan on Gabriel with his big hands and permanent frown.
\nAs a widower Gabriel needs help caring for the farm and his six children. But he never thought he\u2019d marry a slip of a girl who barely reaches his chin.
\nYet as time passes, Gabriel finds himself thinking about a real marriage. They have spoken vows to God and each other, but can he risk his heart with Rachel?<\/p>\n
