About the author
Michele Pollock Dalton
56 books11 followersMy name is Michele Pollock Dalton; and, I am an unapologetic romantic.
Although I have been writing since early childhood, I have only recently overcome my reticence about sharing the stories that I create.
Most days are spent wheeling around after a remarkable little boy that I love with all my heart. And, sometimes I put my domestic goddess skills to work, so we don't have to run around naked =)
White chocolate truffles and faith fuel my writing endeavors; and, my sincere hope is that the characters I invent resonate with folks who need a bit of inspiration to face their day

totally loved this book.
This book was awesome. It was great to read Lilly and Johann's story.
It was also very encouraging to see what they had gone through, and came out of it, still believing in and loving the Lord. The viruses in this story, were an ironic echo to what's happening at the moment.
Even though it was a short story, the characters were still very well developed.
Some of the gaps were filled in so to speak.
It helps explain how Lilly is so strong and mature in her faith.
It was also interesting how the Bramdt name came to be.
I am highly recommending this book, and the rest of the series.
Can't wait to read more.
