A Free eBook!

Today would have been my sweet mom’s 88th birthday—she’s celebrating this one in heaven—and I’m celebrating here on earth with a free eBook for my readers.

A Vow to Cherish was my very first novel. It has been through many, many variations, was made into a movie, was my first mass market-size book, has been translated into Dutch, Swedish, German, and several other languages, and has had more covers than I can remember! (The most recent in the images above were designed by my talented husband, Ken Raney.)

I hope you’ll get the free ebook, and while you’re there, maybe grab a copy of the sequel, Within This Circle, or the audiobook, or a print copy, too.

I’ll leave you with this precious photo of my parents, taken in 1951 when they were teenagers. My parents met when they were 8 years old and my dad was sitting on a fence rail showing off. It was love at first sight and love “till death do us part.” This picture makes me smile big, thinking how they had no idea when the photo was snapped that their love would turn into a family of five children, twelve grandchildren, and at least twice that many great-grandchildren (I’ve lost count!) Happy birthday in Heaven, Mothe.
