God gives impossibilities beautiful endings

Clara and Daniel Becker married secretly circumventing nobility’s rules. When denial no longer serves her, how does Clara hide the truth of their wedding night conception and their nuptials from her father, the Baron?

If Vati sends her away, Daniel promises to follow. But unexpected circumstances bring them face-to-face with the words of Proverbs 16:9. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Her grandmother’s last warning spins like a tempest threatening to shipwreck their joy and fray every promise they have made.

Book Excerpt

“Stories should have happy endings,” Clara said.

“But Dame Gothel is a mean old woman!” Eliza proclaimed at the end of the story. “I’m
happy the prince found Rapunzel and her babies, and they lived happily ever after. Are you
having a baby Fraulein Clara? Is Max your prince?” Eliza asked.

“Why do you ask, precious Kinder?”

“Your tummy is really big, and I heard Herr Max say you are a happy little family.”

“Ah, he did. He’s not my prince, though.” Clara pressed her palms together and placed them
next to her ear like a pillow. “You sleep soundly, and dream about your prince. Every little girl
should dream of the one who will come for her one day.”
