Can love heal all wounds? Lucas Mitchell returned from Iraq
a bitter, changed man, wracked with guilt over his friend's
death. He buys an old mansion and deals with his injuries
and grief by restoring his new home and rehabilitating
retired racehorses. Joy Kovacs falls in love with Lucas at
first sight. Descended from gypsies who are still influenced
by the lingering effects of the Holocaust, her family
follows the traditional ways. A husband has already been
selected for her, and her father insists she work at their
ethnic restaurant. But Joy wants to use her talent and be an
artist, and she wants no one but Lucas.How can Joy find a
way to help Lucas break out of his prison of grief? Although
they've committed their hearts to each other, can the
growing love and passion between Lucas and Joy survive her
family's insistence that she marry within her culture?
"As a high school teacher, I've had to watch many young
people, students whom I love, put on uniforms and head to
Iraq. While I'm thankful they're all doing well, I felt
there was a story to tell about them. Lucas Mitchell
represents those students I've had the pleasure of knowing
who make the noble choice to serve their country." ~Sandy~
