Love-Scarred Hands

About this ebook
Was she a mail-order bride or the ill-gotten prize of a gambler?
Rose O'Brien lost her family during the potato famine in Ireland--all except her older brother who lived in America. She'd resigned herself to marry a man she didn't love, until an unexpected letter came from across the seas, and she fell in love with a man she'd never met.
Thomas Atwood, rebellious, intelligent, and arrogant, couldn't resist besting his friend in a wager for a girl he didn't know. He boasted he could win her hand in marriage within eighteen months through his letters alone. He didn't know winning would cost him his heart.
Can a woman love a man so much that he becomes her idol? Rose must make a choice when, more than anything, she wants both her husband and her heavenly Father, even if the cost is her life.

Eight were published before her imagination turned toward love stories, which is what she enjoys reading.She has been writing Christian or clean and wholesome romance since 2001. Over the years several readers from pre-teens to older kids in their eighties and nineties have written expressing their interest in her books. She always loves to hear about one of her stories touching someone's heart. Her purpose in writing is to encourage, entertain, and bless someone else.She lives in the United States and sets her characters in the middle states from Texas to Nebraska and Iowa and reaching across Illinois to Colorado. She also has an Oregon Trail series, but the Great Plains states are her favorite setting.She is active in a very special critique group and has written and published over 60 books in both historical and contemporary themes, and plans to continue writing as long as God allows.
