All Isabelle, my heroine in ALWAYS WITH YOU, wants is
to be loved without conditions. She’s eighteen, has healed from a health
setback, and after losing her mom years ago and being raised by an emotionally
distant father and grandmother, wants her Prince Charming. In her mind, she
doesn’t care what faith or race or background he is because she’s certain that
when her heart tells her who this destined man is, she’ll have no problem
recognizing him. In the meantime, she’s not especially seeking him, will wait
patiently, and is ready for love when it grabs her.
Love, in the very real body of an attractive young man, pays a needed visit just
in time to even call him a true hero! Tyler intervenes when a gang of punky
teens has less than stellar plans for Isabelle. But, many eyes around her small
Adirondack town, let alone her own dad, are suspicious of the community where
Tyler lives. She’s forewarned of possible dangers, but chooses to see only the
Wonderful in Tyler and The Faithful, and that’s with a Capital W.
What causes a fairly intelligent woman to fall for a man that society sees as
less desirable?
In Isabelle’s case:
She knows the close family and faith she lacked growing up, and doesn’t want
to repeat that sadness for the rest of her life. In Tyler, she has a strong man
who isn’t afraid to take a stand, a man of faith, one who is devoted to his
siblings (his parents died tragically) and community.
She feels Tyler’s anguish and wants to make it better for him. Tyler is
orphaned, has more responsibilities—both to family and community—than someone
his age should have, and hasn’t had the traditional opportunities (like college
or career) that usually come along when connected from a more supportive family.
Though loved by her dad and grandmother, Isabelle empathizes with Tyler’s
emotions and believes she can be the one to make a difference in his life.
She and Tyler are young and can start over in time to enjoy the rest of
their lives. They both want love, a real family bond, and faith in a God who
wants them, missing tickets from their childhood. Determined, and with
headstrong tenacity, their minds and more importantly, their hearts, tell them
that their union is meant to be.
Enter the unknown, aka tension or obstacles to their Happily
Ever After. It’s not until Isabelle marries
Tyler and is pregnant with their first child that she slowly comes to learn and
accept that Tyler and the community she now lives in, one that is isolated from
her old life with her dad, grandmother, and friends, have deceived her into
making her think that they are kind and morally right folks.
But, Isabelle loves Tyler. Doesn’t she? Yet, with a baby on the way, she must
make an important decision of her life, even if it’s the most heart-ripping one
she’s ever faced.

a character falls in love, for better or worse, unable to go back but unsure of
whether she can move forward. I’d love to know!
Can she move forward without knowing her past? Will he enjoy his present if
he can’t free himself from what he left behind? In the heart of the Adirondacks,
Isabelle lives in the shadow of a dark family secret whose silent burden strips
her family of emotional warmth and faith in God. Tyler belongs to the religious
sect called The Faithful, which Isabelle’s father dislikes immensely. Yet,
because Tyler belongs to this group, Isabelle sees only a man devoted to his
family and faith. She wants it; she gets it; they marry. And when the truth
comes out, Isabelle faces two choices: Staying could endanger her child. Leaving
could cost her life.
