She thinks. She\u2019s not sure. She\u2019d rather write them than count them. Lauraine\u2019s work has been translated into Norwegian, Danish and German as well as produced as books on tape.<\/p>\n<p>Awards have followed her dedication to \u201ctelling a good story\u201d: the Silver Angel Award for An Untamed Land and a Romance Writers of America Golden Heart for Song of Laughter.<\/p>\n<p>Helping others reach their writing dream is the reason Lauraine teaches at writer\u2019s conferences across the country. She mentors others through book doctoring and with her humorous and playful Writing Great Fiction tape set. Lauraine also produces material on query letters and other aspects of the writing process.<\/p>\n<p>Her readers clamor for more books more often and Lauraine would like to comply, if only her ever-growing flower gardens didn\u2019t call quite so loudly over the soothing rush of the water fountains in her back yard and if the hummingbirds weren\u2019t quite so entertaining. Lauraine and husband Wayne have two grown sons and a cockatiel named Bidley, who loves to tease their Basset Hound named Chewy.<\/p>\n<h3>ABOUT THE BOOK<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_m32TlugOPkM\/STNYGAhIXAI\/AAAAAAAACdA\/HGwqEmr-sBY\/s1600-h\/oneperfectday.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274656448822402050\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 131px; height: 200px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_m32TlugOPkM\/STNYGAhIXAI\/AAAAAAAACdA\/HGwqEmr-sBY\/s200\/oneperfectday.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nTwo mothers end up more closely connected that they could dream&#8230;and yet they are strangers to one another.<\/p>\n<p>The first has two children&#8211;twins, a boy and girl, who are seniors in high school. She wants their last Christmas as a family living in the same home to be perfect, but her husband is delayed returning from a business trip abroad. And then there&#8217;s an accident&#8211;a fatal one involving a drunk driver.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the other mother has a daughter who needs a new heart, and so the loss of one woman becomes the miracle the other has desperately prayed for. While one mother grieves, and pulls away from her family, the other finds that even miracles aren&#8217;t always easy to receive.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to read the first chapter of <a
