.”She laughed.“But where’s my ring?”“Lem said you always played pretend with your grandma’s engagement ring, passed down to your mother.”“I’d be honored to use it!”Lem swiped tears.“Nothing would make me happier.Except a passel of great-grandbabies wreaking havoc in my cornfields.”Mitch grinned at Lauren.“We could oblige.”Lem chuckled, dug in his overall pocket and brandished the heirloom ring.Mitch slipped it onto Lauren’s trembling finger.She held it to sunlight, then to her heart.“I hoped and it came true,” she breathed.Then hugged Mitch so hard she punted air from his chest.“I love you.”“I love you, too, my favorite nurse and future wife.To heaven and back.”“To heaven and back.” Lauren laughed.“But thankfully not to Texas.”* * * * *Keep reading for an excerpt of The Promise of Home by Kathryn Springer!Dear Reader,During the writing of this book, I not only lost my grandmother, my husband was involved in a tragic head-on collision that killed the other driver, whose car skidded into my husband’s lane on an icy curve.The accident happened just down the road from our home.I heard several ambulances and had the thought to call my husband.When he answered severely shaken and out of breath, he said, “It was me, but I’m okay.” I couldn’t comprehend at first what he meant.Being the nurse that I am, I rushed to the scene to realize that the precise moment I was speaking to my husband on the phone, another young wife was losing hers.My children have their daddy, but that day, other little ones lost theirs.This same family lost their home and all possessions to a house fire two months before.I don’t understand why tragedy comes in relentless waves at times, but I trust in God’s goodness in bad times as well as good.Please keep the Watson family in your prayers.If you are overwhelmed by hardship, I would love to pray for you.Feel free to write me at my publisher: Love Inspired Books, 233 Broadway, Suite 1001, New York, NY 10279.Or email me at cheryl@cherylwyatt.com.I’m active on Facebook.If you’d like to connect and keep up with book news, “Like” my author page at https://www.facebook.com/CherylWyattAuthor.I give away goodies at intervals there.I also provide book updates and extras to my newsletter subscribers.If you’d like to be a part of the community of readers I love so much, visit my Web site at www.cherylwyatt.com and sign up for my newsletter.We’d love to get to know you!If you’re an aspiring writer, visit a fifteen-author mentoring community at www.seekerville.net.Also, joining www.acfw.com is a helpful thing to do as well as frequent the writing articles and community at www.harlequin.comThe Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace!Blessings,Cheryl WyattQuestions for DiscussionGrandpa Lem was afraid of turning seventy because his father and grandfather died in their seventieth year.Could you understand his fear?
