I hope you had fun reading this story. It's been my favorite to write. Our hearts are funny creatures sometimes, aren't they? I had my share of bad dates, and likely I'm the villain of someone's story about their bad date with me. My friends and I had fun brainstorming the dates for this book. But it was tough to end this novel, because I liked the characters so much. Miss Ruby,Nubbin, Tara, and of course Sam & Elinor. I really liked Big Roy as a loving father figure. If you don't have that, remember you have a heavenly Father who knows the number of hairs on your head and holds you lovingly in the palm of His hand. He won't fail you.Blessings in Him who is able!
