5,198 days. 84 days. 2 days.
They say it takes 30 days to make or break a habit. Let’s see if I can make a habit, that will help unbreak my heart.
Emotions drain you of energy. It’s funny, I used to think they energized me, but anger, anger drags me under and tries to drown me. Heartbreak leaves me curled up in bed, unable to even crawl out from under the blankets. Fear, fear drives me to perfect every detail.
That leaves me with a challenge. Shaking off the anger, pushing the blankets off, and finishing the book. The book Mom never got to hold in her hands. The book she inspired, transcribed, and loved. June 25th would have been her birthday. Now, it’s my deadline.
Here’s a little sneak peek, along with that cover I love so much:
What do you do when life hands you heartache and shattered dreams?
A horse named Whirlwind was all it took to shatter Cassandra Caruthers body along with her dreams. After a year of grueling therapy, she is finally going home, only to find that life has moved on without her.
Her estranged father leaves her an inheritance with strings resembling barbed wire attached- a horse ranch. She doesn’t know what makes her more furious, her father thinking she ignored him, his leaving her a horse ranch, or that she can’t ask him why. The answers to those questions, and more await her in Twin Creeks, Texas.
Doctor Dallas Haloren never expected the woman of his dreams would ride into town in a vintage green mustang and nearly run him over. He didn’t need trouble from someone who’d get lost on a ranch. He’d made the mistake of falling for a city-girl once, he wouldn’t do it again. Yet, one look into the pain-filled eyes of his new neighbor, and Dallas knew he had to help her reclaim herself.
