BOOK DESCRIPTION
BOOK DESCRIPTION
“I
did what?”
Twenty-eight
year old Gabriella Bessu is St. Therese’s meticulous wedding ceremony
coordinator. So the fact that she has mistakenly signed her newest couple up
for an annulment, rather than a wedding, sends her Catholic guilt into
overdrive.
But
who can blame her? The groom is gorgeous and his two kids tug at Gabriella’s
heart in a way that overcomes all her best intentions. Before long she’s in
over her head, fixing her mixed-up plans and helping the children and dad come
to terms with their haunting grief for the mother and wife they lost years
earlier.
Can
Gabriella untangle her own fears and accept the messy life that God has handed
them?
EXCERPT
“Umm,
Gabriella,” Chloe said, “I don’t think that’s the plumber. It sounds like . .
.”
The
last thing Ryan had expected to see when he’d entered the cottage was Gabriella
flat on her back in a puddle of water, inspecting the rear of the toilet. Chloe
was holding a bucket and a sopping wet towel, and Peter was nowhere to be seen.
“Hi,
Chloe,” he said quickly. “Where’s Peter?”
“Dad!”
Peter came flying from another room and flung himself into Ryan’s arms.
“RYAN?”
Gabriella yelled and quickly sat up. The thump of her head smacking the toilet
bowl echoed around the tiny room.
“Ow,”
she cried. “Damn it! Ow, ow, ow.”
Ryan
grimaced. Gabriella sat on the wet floor, near tears, rubbing at the welt
already forming on her forehead.
“I’m
sorry,” she said, clearly at the end of her rope. “I can’t believe I said that
in front of the kids. It’s just, everything has gone wrong today.”
She
hung her head in her lap and began to cry for real.
Ryan
had to hold back a smile. She looked so much like a wet cat. And, to top it
off, she had yet to hear how wrong things had really gone with the day.
“Come
on, now. It’s not that bad,” he finally said. “We’ll get it all fixed. Don’t
worry.”
Chloe’s
face lit up with an expression he hadn’t seen in years. For a few moments at
least he was back to being her superhero dad.
