This was an incredible journey!!  I got the book Sunday at noon and finished it by 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.  I could not put it down and really cannot wait for the next Michigan Chronicle! I wish you the very best in future endeavors.  I have already passed it on to another member of my family.  It truly has something for everyone romance, mystery, adventure, and not of least God's word which each and every one of needs daily.

I can not Thank You enough for writing A Decision of the Heart.  You have been truly blessed as a writer from God.  I can only pray that there is a sequel in the makings.  I have learned through your book that no matter what God has put in front of us we can go to him in prayer and he will be there to answer.  I have been married 20 years this Wednesday and now I know I have a God who will always be in control.  Sometimes doubt will set in but through him and prayer it diminishes.  Thank you again and God Bless you in all you do.

One of the things I liked about A Decision of the Heart is that it never got boring - it was hard to put down! I enjoyed it immensely. The Lord spoke to me through it (several times) and I believe everyone who reads it will see themselves looking at some situations through new eyes. I cannot say enough how good it was for me.

A heart of Joy is a wonderful and refreshing book of life. It would help one to remember how beautiful and fragile life can be. I found myself drifting back on many occasions just thanking the Lord for all he has done for us. From a simple glance or expression, to the full understanding that no matter what happens God is and will always be in control. Jesse and Olivia may only be storybook figures, but represent a true meaning of God’s unconditional love. Thank you for the good read.

One word penetrated my mind as I read A Heart of Joy: Trust. Olivia learns to trust in God’s planned path. Her parents so completely trust in a young man’s promise to shelter and love Olivia. And the new marriage that evolves eventually centers on the kind of trust God intended for all of us. A Heart of Joy tickles the senses, excites the mind, and evokes the heart’s deepest emotions. The characters’ Christ-centered relationships inspired me to bring ever more love and happiness to my own young marriage, and to completely trust in the Lord’s love, purpose, and power.

 A Heart of Joy is a wonderful recipe of love and devotion where the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit permeate the recounting of each moment in these memorable characters’ lives. If you believe that a family who prays together stays together, the story of Jesse and Olivia will become yet another reason why your belief is so very well founded.

He said her heart was a gift

that only she could give.

Could She?

1824 - Ypsilanti, Michigan Territory

"He's the epitome of all I didn't want in a husband!"

Feisty and daring, Elizabeth Somers thrives on adventure. When tragedy strikes and she's stranded with a broken ankle in the midst of a raging snowstorm, her carefree existence comes to an abrupt halt. Her life spins out of control. She's powerless to stop it...

"Elizabeth, your mother and I have discussed this and agree. The only way to stop the rumors is for you to marry right away."

She paled instantly, horrified by her father's words. How could he even suggest such a thing? An emphatic "No!" was her enraged reply.

"You'll be married tonight, Elizabeth."

"Not tonight! I can't marry him tonight!"

A Decision of the Heart is not just a moving story of faith rising above suffering, slander, and life's circumstances, it's about a tender love that begins with a decision - A Decision of the Heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Olivia...you might get more than you bargained for if you continue to be such a tease!

 

1830 - Ypsilanti, Michigan Territory

“We barely know each other, yet in the morning we could be saying vows that will join us as husband and wife—

the same morning I must say goodbye to my parents for the rest of my life...”

Olivia Ordan must accept that her ailing parents are leaving their home in Tecumseh to seek medical treatment in their final days, but when her impending loss plunges her into an uncertain future, her faith will be tested as never before…

Intent on seeing her wed before they part, Olivia’s father resorts to unconventional methods in order to find her a husband. After careful consideration, he is convinced that the young man coming to dinner will be perfect for her.

Despite her uncertainties, Olivia will do nothing to add to her parent’s grief—even agreeing to an arranged marriage—if doing so will give them peace.

A gentleman has arrived and is waiting in the parlor with her parents. As impossible as her situation is, curiosity propels her feet forward. Having barely peeked around the doorframe, she quickly withdraws. How can this be?

A Heart of Joy is not only a moving saga of overcoming faith, it’s also a heartwarming romance filled with adventure that ultimately leads to—A Heart of Joy!
