Road to a Miracle, a story of second chances

Pages : 273
Book Description
Those who knew him figured Jimmy Newton would never amount to much. In the first place, he was a mistake. His mother, Judy, got pregnant while a junior in high school. Few girls are ready for motherhood at that age, and she certainly wasn't. His father showed his interest by abandoning her before his birth. Fortunately, Judy's parents helped her through the ordeal. Grateful, but feeling the need for freedom, Judy moved when she could and took Jimmy with her. Attempting to make up for what she missed in school, Judy became loose and available. Jimmy met some of her friends at the breakfast table. Her "regulars" became his friends too. Judy's lifestyle during his formative years left Jimmy in the care of babysitters who had agendas of their own. They often parked him in front of the TV and entertained their boyfriends on the couch. In school, Jimmy ran with a rough crowd, often knee-deep in trouble. Enter Lou Jackson. In many ways, Lou was a godsend for both mother and child. Lou, with a checkered past himself, mentored Jimmy and put him on a better track, not necessarily the right one. His questionable message to the young man was-if you're going to be a crook, at least be smart about it. Utilizing some of the traits and lessons Lou taught him, Jimmy came up with some ideas of his own. Lou thought what he had in mind was a bit too complicated, even risky, but Jimmy was determined to proceed. Along the way, Jimmy met Charley, who heard the idea and encouraged him to proceed with it. Jimmy discovered later that his idea would not have worked at all, if not for Charley. And Charley was not who he appeared to be.

Pages : 358
Book Description
How long will Edna have to wait for the love of her life? Will God reward her patience? From Linda Byler, bestselling author of Amish Romances, comes a new story with "multifaceted characters who deal with real-life issues”—Publishers Weekly “Short, dark-haired and dark-eyed, soft and round and capable, Edna was crackling with a zest for life. There was no job too mountainous for her. She had no husband or children, and had never had a date in her life.” For years, Edna Miller has found herself drawn to Emery Hoschtettler with an attraction she can explain no better than she can put a stop to it. Other suitors come and go, but none make her feel the way she feels around Emery—that incredible floating feeling, as if she was walking on air, mixed with a painful desperation to be ever nearer to him. Despite the fact that Emery seldom seems to pay her much attention, she decides it would be unfair to marry anyone else when her heart longs only for him. He hasn’t seriously dated anyone else either, so perhaps he’s just waiting for the right time to ask her . . . By the time Edna is twenty-nine, most of her family and friends have given up hope of her ever marrying. Why she didn’t give that nice man Jonathan more of a chance was beyond them. Sure, he had a bit of a limp from the tractor accident, but he was kind as could be, not to mention wealthy. Was she so vain that she could only judge based on outward appearances? Well then, she could go ahead and be a maud for the rest of her life, cooking and cleaning for other families. When Emery finally asks Edna out, she can hardly contain her joy. Everything is coming together—God is rewarding her patience! Her family will understand why she could never settle for anyone else. But what if Emery isn’t the man Edna was so sure he was? Is there something he’s hiding, or is Edna simply unable to accept true love after so many years of waiting? Would God really lead her all this way, just to leave her alone again?
