The Christmas Promise

Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This holiday season, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Noel Collection returns with another heartwarming story of secrets, heartbreak, forgiveness, and the true meaning of Christmas. On the night of her high school graduation, Richelle Bach’s father gives her and her identical twin sister, Michelle, matching opal necklaces. “These opals look identical,” he tells them, “but the fire inside each is completely unique—just like the two of you.” Indeed, the two sisters couldn’t be more different, and their paths diverge as they embark on adulthood. Years pass, until—at their father’s behest—they both come home for Christmas. What happens then forever damages their relationship, and Richelle vows never to see or speak to her sister again. In their father’s last days, he asks Richelle to forgive Michelle, a deathbed promise she never fulfills as her twin is killed in an accident. Now, painfully alone and broken, caring for the sickest of children in a hospital PICU, Richelle has one last dream: to be an author. The plot of her book, The Prodigal Daughter, is a story based on her sister’s life. It’s not until she meets Justin Ek, a man who harbors his own loss, that a secret promise is revealed, and Richelle learns that the story she’s writing is not about her sister, but about herself.

Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This is a true story of how an opportunity can completely change a life. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to buy school supplies for impoverished children in Cambodia. The youngest son of an impoverished rice-farming family in Cambodia, Chamroeun Pen shares his extraordinary story as part of a promise he made with the US Embassy in 2008. It begins with his early life in Cambodia, a country that still bears the scars of the genocide known as the Killing Fields, where most of the educated population was slaughtered between the years 1975 and 1979. This left the younger generation struggling to receive adequate schooling, and the majority of students, including Chamroeun, knew almost nothing about the world beyond their borders. Teachers doled out cruel punishments, there were threats by gang members, along with continual lack of school supplies. Against all odds, Chamroeun was granted an opportunity to study in the US at the age of thirteen. But he had to adapt to the American way of life and overcome adversity as his journey progressed. Torn by problems in his families in both the US and Cambodia, he often wished he could just quit and return home. Yet, his father's dream of having at least one of his eight children finish school propelled him forward. Chamroeun's perseverance is a stirring message of hope. With this book, he wants to encourage youth, not just in Cambodia, but also around the world, to never give up in the pursuit of an education.

Cowboy McKennon Kelly's haunting past was a well-kept secret around the Green Briar stables, despite how hard newcomer cowgirl Devon tried to get to know him.

Cowboy Away, the highly anticipated sequel to In the Reins, an EQUUS Film Festival Literary Award winner for Best Western Fiction and two-time Feathered Quill Book Award recipient, journeys through McKennon's dark and tortuous past. A cowboy on a quest for revenge, McKennon hits the road with nothing but his memories, a pistol and hope to put his demon to rest.

Book Description
McKennon Kelly. McKennon Kelly. McKennon Kelly. Cowboy McKennon Kelly was the last thing Devon Brooke wanted to focus on after finding herself suddenly single. Looking for a fresh start to life, city girl and journalist Devon just wanted to go back to her country roots and focus on building a relationship with her newly acquired equine partner Faith. Devon finds companionship in handsome bull riding ranch hand JD and delicate Green Briar horse farm owner Sophia, both who advise Devon to keep her distance from McKennon and "mind her p's and q's" around the quiet and eerily peaceful stables. Devon thinks it shouldn't be too difficult to avoid the Adonis cowboy, but after noticing his skills and expert ways with training horses, she figures it couldn't hurt to get to know him a little bit ... right? Devon follows the guarded cowboy to a horse show, where she is unprepared to learn she may not be the cowgirl she thought she was. After a near-tragic incident, Devon begins to realize that the more time she spends with McKennon, the less she really knows about him (or horses, for that matter), and his mystery just keeps getting bigger. Who is he really, what is it that everyone doesn't want her to know, and why is this tight-shirted, spur-jingling, weather-eyed cowboy all she can think about now?
