Produktbeschreibung

Reverend Jason Adam's dreams have come to fruition. He is now the head pastor of a small-town church in rural Wisconsin. At the potluck being held in his honor, Jason looks over the congregants of the church and feels pleased. As his gaze journeys over each unfamiliar face, he hears a woman's laugh. He turns toward the laughter, and his eyes snag on a woman only a few feet away. Joy seems to bubble out of her. Jason is at once struck by her beauty.

Jason has seen pretty women before, but there is something about her ... Jason cannot put his finger on it. Is she physically more beautiful than any other he has ever seen? No. She isn't glamorous looking. She is not a classic Hollywood beauty, but she has a smile that lights up the room. As he looks at the woman, he thinks she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. What is it about her...?

When Amanda Iverson, the church organist, sees her new minister at the church potluck in his honor, she is at once struck by his handsome presence. His smile stirs longing in her tender heart. As time goes on, that magnetic pull towards him does not go away, for every time he takes her in his arms for lingering kisses, she is swept into another worldone of pure bliss.

However, time and again Jason distances himself from her leaving her with a broken heart. She longs for his arms, but she longs for his spirit more. His inner beauty shines out to her in his Sunday morning sermons. Will Jason ever see there could be so much more between them than the physical?

During the times he embraces Amanda, Jason is swept into a passionate haze, but he believes his physical cravings for her are a distraction to his ministerial goals. He keeps himself apart from her. When Amanda sings in the church choir or plays the organ, he witnesses a beautiful soul. Still, he is conflicted. He yearns for her. Is it just physical or is there something more? There is always this single question: is she the one?

Autorenporträt

When I was a teenager I had two primary dreams. I wanted to write and publish novels that readers would enjoy and find meaning in, and I wanted to be married with four childrentwo boys and two girls (in that order). I wanted to stay home and not have them go to babysitters like I had to.

I met my husband the second week of my freshman year. I fell instantly into like when I met him and knew we'd be kindred spirits. As our friendship progressed over six months, I fell in love. We were engaged a few months after we started dating. We married two years later.

For my degree I chose English Literature with a minor in technical writing. I chose technical writing because I thought it would be a practical way to have a career as a writer. I didn't think I was any good at writing fiction, and I wasn't. I had no "grand" idea. I was a fair poetry writer. I loved writing about literature, and I enjoyed technical writing. I sort of planned on that being my career when I finished college, but I lived perpetually in the moment.

We married the summer before our senior year. The first five months of our married life was incredibly romantic. We were students, so we were poor. We lived in a small one-bedroom studio apartment. We had no air conditioning, so the summer nights were quite hot and humid in Wisconsin.

Our car didn't work, so we biked and walked everywhere. On summer evenings my husband loved to watch spiders spinning webs. He would stand their fascinated by the intricate patterns. I stood there fascinated with him. For groceries, we pulled a rickety wagon. We found coupons on campus for free two-liters of pop. Every day we redeemed these coupons for a bit more than a month. We had a lot of free pop to drink, which is kind of funny because neither of us are all that into pop. We would bike to a bakery for day-old bread.

The November after our wedding, we became pregnant with my oldest son. I was sick for months. I made it through finals and then through another semester of class. Living perpetually in the moment helped me adjust to the fact I would be an at-home mom and wouldn't start a career as a technical writer. I was thrilled! But being so young as a mom I was ill-prepared to meet the demands of an infant.

I fulfilled one-fourth of my dream. #1

My husband thought I needed more education. He thought English was a degree in the obvious and that I'd never get a decent paying job with only t...
