Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wedding day may be laced with hope, fear, uncertainty, and trust...much like crossing a rope bridge. As she crosses over, she hopes to find her groom in the middle with her, steady and confident in their love. "Marriage is like a bridge, isn't it? We come from two different worlds and when the bridge is finally completed, we can cross it and marry one another to begin our safe, well-supported life together." Tiana Pearce, a forty-year-old Phys Ed teacher from Kansas was being rushed into a quick wedding with the man of her dreams, Danny Pine. He's an actor, a dreamer, but a philosophically romantic man who lives on a horse ranch. After a tragic miscarriage, she cancels the wedding and loses all focus on her future. She insists she must go to her ancestral home of Lebanon to find her soul and decide if she will marry him. She has a broken spirit but a strong resolve. Will the Lebanese help her? Her traveling companion is not Danny; he's too busy to cut and run. Dorothy, a healthy octogenarian and aunt to her good friend, has also experienced a recent trauma-a tornado destroyed her home. She travels with Tiana for a different purpose. Widowed twice before age 30, she has bridged the majority of her years alone, and now, she is on the hunt for a third husband. He must be lovable, charming, and intelligent, but foremost, a Christian. But does such a man in her generation exist who will desire her? They lodge at the American Embassy residence in Beirut with distant relatives and quickly become embedded in the consequences of decades of war, including the current war in Ukraine. Tiana discovers orphaned children metaphorically standing on her bridge between her and Danny. The Ambassador expects her to adopt them; they are her distant family. It's a hurdle she can't jump alone. Danny must be her pillar of strength. But will he hold her up or crumble? Marilyn Jacobson White is the author of many Christian fiction novels and a poetry book. She writes to entertain with clean romance stories which exemplify the goodness of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caught between a stifling Amish community and an unnerving outside world, a devout young woman on the run is about to become the newest arrival to West Kootenai, Montana. On the day of her sister's death, Rebecca Troyer took her first step away from the Amish. Rebecca had always strayed a little outside the fold—a job at an Englisch bakery, long weekends with non-Amish friends—but nothing could have prepared her family for what she is about to do: Rebecca is abandoning the community to attend nursing school. She is headed to college, into “the world.” But she has to make it across the country first. When she stops in West Kootenai, at the home of a lapsed Amish friend from her youth, Rebecca finds a lot more in Montana than she had bargained for—namely a handsome working man named Caleb Hooley. Caleb is at a crossroads of his own. A daredevil bachelor with high standards, he has decided he’ll never find an Amish woman who can quench his thirst for adventure. Needless to say, the pretty Amish girl who has fled her community in secret catches his attention immediately. As hearts are opened and secrets are revealed, Rebecca and Caleb find they have much more in common than just their Amish background. But can this runaway find love with a risk-taker who has lost his faith in God? All it will take is one week in the wilderness to find out . . .

They arrive as bachelors but go home with brides! The Memory Jar Sarah Shelter has lived in West Kootenai for the last ten years and wonders if she will ever fall in love. Since the tragic death of her best friend, she carries her memories in a jar along with the small items connected to them. Now she’s met a kind and gentle man who may be able to break down the wall.
