The town of Glory--a good place to go for Christmas!
Calgary lawyer Honor Templeman makes a shocking discovery after her husband's death. Parker Templeman had another wife--and two children! They lived in the small ranching community of Glory, and the children have apparently been left in the care of their uncle. Honor's determined to look into that situation.
His sister, Sylvie, and Parker Templeman are dead, and Joe Gallant has no intention of handing over their children to Honor--no matter how attractive her finds her. Because neither love nor law will induce him to break the promise he made to Sylvie.
But...if Honor married him, she could have a relationship with the kids. They'd be a family. They'd do family things--like ball games and school concerts...and Christmas.
A cowboy town in cowboy country. This is a place a woman could love. These are men a woman could love!
Judith Bowen was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and grew up in a logging camp in the Rocky Mountain foothills. She had many friends who lived on farms and ranches, a fact to which she attributes her love of the outdoors and of rural life. She bought her first horse at age 12 with money saved from allowances, gifts, and odd jobs—the horse only cost $60 and was fresh off the range! Luckily he was a sweetie, and she trained him and rode him until she left high school.
Judith holds a bachelor's degree in English Literature from Carleton University, Ottawa, and worked for newspapers and magazines, before writing fiction. She was published since 1990 by Harlequin. Her Men of Glory miniseries, set around small-town Alberta, arose directly from her experience of going to school in a small town and living in small towns all over Canada. She has lived in many of Canada's provinces, from Prince Edward Island to B.C., and writes from the heart, of people who live on the land that she knows best.
Judith currently lives in Ladner, British Columbia, is married, with three children, and spends every day of the working week at her word processor, writing the stories she loves, and is also a member of many writing and arts organizations. Weekends and summers are for family.
A real feel good book. I wondered how comfortable I would feel leaving my child in the care of someone who had never even changed a diaper but alas. Lovely book though. Liked the refreshing themes of good ole honesty, candidness and familial love. Good read.
