By Way of the Rose (45 page)

From there, the story took on a life of its own. It turned on a dime and ended up not with a brother-sister wedding as I had thought, but with the liberation of a severely abused girl who found her voice, her heritage, her way and also the meaning of true love.

The boy, John is an idealist whose ideals become clouded. He cares a great deal for humanity, but he misses the boat in thinking that money can buy happiness, gifts can heal all wounds and finery can make up for lost time.

Thank you for honoring me by reading the work of this ‘colorful mind’ and I hope you fully enjoyed it.

Until next time, I wish you God's Rich Blessings,
