ANGEL'S BLESSING

A good deed might just lead Angel into a lifetime of rewards...

It's been one year since Angel Walker divorced her

intolerable husband, James, and one year since

Jake Jordan lost his dear wife, Rosaline to a car

accident. Now twelve years since Angel and Jake

last saw each other, Angel is returning to Nova

Scotia to help out her aunt who's just taken a fall.

But running the Bed and Breakfast turns out to

be an easier challenge than dealing with widower

Jake and his adorable daughter Rachael. Living

up to the saintly Rosaline takes courage. But it

takes more courage still to accept that Jake is

nothing like James.

Once bitten twice shy, Jake discovers Angel

doesn't trust easily. He'll have to be careful with

this one, if he doesn't want her to slip away. But

when Angel finally believes in Jake, she discovers

she could have been wrong, and Jake might be

using her, making him an even lower person than

her ex.

An almost tragedy is avoided and long overdue

explanations turn Angel's challenge into a blessing.

POETRY    OF    LOVE

THE EBBING
My rock, my refuge in the storm. May you always be there when the dark sea swells around me and life seems too much to bear. When I am drowning, overcome by life's evil side. When I am turbulent, spinning on a whirligig ride. When I reach out to unbosom my strife... Then you are there - to calm me, to reassure my trembling self, to silence my wail. Your staunch support I can count on and once more tread the still waters.
DOUBTS
Where are the you and I? The we? Or was it always me and you casting separate shadows that stretched out differently? I took the road that you were on. Where did I lose you? Or, maybe I was never there.
