"For with God nothing shall be impossible."
—Luke 1:37 (KJV)

The Story:        
Twenty-seven-year-old Ariana Ross has not had an easy life. 
Orphaned at two after her parents are murdered, she is raised by her father’s family in Queensland, Australia.
Ariana—who embraces spirituality and refuses to believe life is against
her—eventually becomes a physician. Now, as Ariana heads to new beginnings at a medical practice in Gumbirra, Queensland, she hopes to broaden her horizons, tend to her patients with the help of God’s love, and leave her past behind. 

She has no idea how many surprises await to change her life forever.
After relocating, Ariana encounters Zane Lombardi, a handsome, angry stranger who leaves her heart thumping. It is only after another chance encounter with him that she realizes he is an emotionally scarred man who has lost his trust in women. Even so, the pair are so attracted to each other that it seems destiny dictates the potential for a relationship. 
As Ariana forges new friendships and heals her patients, Zane must reconcile his past as well as his relationship with God as he looks toward the future.
 
In this contemporary Christian tale, Ariana finds that
her quest for a new beginning seems to be leading her
to not only love, but also to an amazing discovery that
may bring her inner peace at last.

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me and shown interest..

When next in the U.S. I will personally sign your copy.  God Bless.
This address is in the USA for now, coming to Australia in a few weeks. 
BUT...... ordering from there may cost less, even with shipping, than buying here? 

I will get back to posting again in the near future. 
For now I will leave this post here to give everyone a chance at the competition.
(Plush toy kookaburra that laughs)
Christmas is a busy season. 
Stay safe and be blessed.
