About this ebook

Rebecca Abbott is a caregiver at a retirement village who is still haunted by the trauma of her past, one that has left her unwilling to trust men and hesitant to engage with the world. Living in a small cottage in Nova Scotia, she struggles to be happy. But now her world is about to change.

A chance encounter brings Rebecca into contact with David Webster, a man she knew in college. Now a widower, David is living with his parents and his twin daughters on the family farm. David and Rebecca meet again at the retirement village, where Davids grandmother is one of Rebeccas patients. Although they are drawn to one another, Davids grief and Rebeccas reticence with men prevents them from acting on their attraction. But faith and fate may work to bring them together in spite of their pain. Meanwhile, a runaway teenage boy named Jeremy searches for a way to survive and finds refuge in an unexpected placeon the Websters family farm, an event the local embittered gossip must investigate, no matter the consequences.

Set in the villages of Nova Scotia, this novel tells the story of four wounded souls who are thrown together as they deal with fear and bitterness in an attempt to find love.

Robert Stirling

"ROBERT STIRLING started out his writing endeavors in high school with essays in English class. His daily interaction with different people has given him much to think about and much inspiration for his characters. He likes inspirational stories about people who overcome tremendous odds and manage to maintain their faith and their family ties. The air of adventure in a novel can often stimulate his own creative process. So by the time Robert enrolled in Nova Scotia College of Art in Halifax, he was writing poetry. This led to expanding his literary vocabulary when he wrote his first novel in an old scribbler. Eventually, he was writing stories on the computer, then submitting them. Robert has published poems in the Bristol Banner Anthologies as well as anthologies by the American Institute of Poetry in Maryland. Republished with a new title-Embracing Love's Healing Touch is Robert's second novel. This book is more about inner struggles. The outside scenery, the location and research comes from his own knowledge and from information from relatives."
