By Debby Giusti
“Move off the mountain. No one wants you here.”
Can this Amish widow survive her dangerous stalker?
Someone wants Ruthie Eicher off Amish Mountain…enough to terrorize the widow and her boys. Now Ruthie must rely on her former sweetheart, Noah Schlabach—the secret father of her eldest son—as they figure out why. But Noah has turned his back on love and the Amish way of life. Can he shield Ruthie…without breaking her heart again?

Wishing you all a healthy, safe and quiet weekend.... and hey, the Hallmark Channel is doing a weekend long "We Need a Little Christmas" of back to back Christmas movies to spread a little cheer this weekend... and as praying from home becomes a temporary new normal for so many, remember that we're virtually gathering here on Sundays for your prayer requests, my friends.

Amen, Ruthy!
DeleteLooks like a good week ahead, and I'll be in the house for most of it so I can enjoy Seekerville as never before. This is so awful, BUT...I keep wishing I wrote dystopian or apocalyptic fiction so I could USE some of this, which is kind of sick but proves I'm a "real" writer. Or a ghoul.
ReplyDeleteKathy Bailey
What if your characters live in a town hit by a diphtheria epidemic? They'd have to quarantine the whole town!
DeleteWait...maybe I'll use this... ;-)
It can be a dystopian or apocalyptic story up until the finding of faith which when combined with the power of love shall open the door to salvation and lead the way to the utopian ideal of the HEA.
DeleteKathy, your comment about possibly being a ghoul made me LOL! :) Thanks for the laugh today.
DeleteKB, I bet you'll use a lot of what we're experiencing in a future book...no matter what genre!
DeleteVince, you've wrapped everything into one story line! :)

DeleteHugs!
Happy weekend, everyone!
ReplyDeleteWe're heading out to the wilds of western South Dakota for a bit of research today (actually, that's just an excuse to get out of the house!) Don't worry, we'll be practicing social distancing...there's not a lot out here except cows and pronghorns!
Have a wonderful time with your families and stay healthy.
Enjoy your day trip!
DeleteSO many great links. I'm really looking forward to reading later, but right now I'm deep in revisions.
ReplyDeleteHope they're going well, Cate!
DeletePlease stay safe and well today, y'all!
ReplyDeleteI'm joining Missy in a plea for everyone to stay safe and remain healthy. Praying for everyone.
