Do you believe in second sight? You know those legends or
myths that some folk are born with very special talents,
gifts some might say. Those that have them often question
that description. Is it a gift to have visions or feelings
that foretell of events that you have no control over? You
may know they are coming but have no means to change the
outcome or future.
In WYOMING WINTER both lead characters have some personal
knowledge of these second sight issues. JC Calhoun's
lineage includes Native Americans and he has been witness to
many a fortune telling of sorts. Of course, naysayers
discount all that as bunk, but in WYOMING WINTER we are sort
of eye witnesses. Diana Palmer really enjoys bringing this
element into the storyline of WYOMING WINTER. Just when we
wonder what significance it will have Palmer reintroduces it
along with a darling character. No more clues, you have to
wait for it.
JC seems to have had his eye on his friend and former
military buddy Rodney's sister Colie. Problem is JC makes
assumptions that have no basis in fact, based more on his
attitude and history with women in general. Then JC follows
through with actions that have unfortunate consequences. In
short, they could end any chance of a real solid
relationship with Colie and put a kibosh on any future dreams.
Colie is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of girl, no
pretense, no act. Brought up by a minister father who
expected certain behavior from his daughter. Colie was an
extremely thoughtful, caring soul who wouldn't think of
causing her father any embarrassment. Her brother Rodney
followed a different life path since his return.
JC for some reason just can't accept the fact that Colie is
an innocent, definitely inexperienced younger woman than she
appears to be. His expectations are far above the truth. And
because of that this relationship, friendship, whatever you
choose to call it is doomed from the start. Colie has stars
in her eyes and believes she can change JC but her father
valiantly tries to warn her not to be foolish. But in the
end, everyone makes their own choices and mistakes and
perhaps regrets.
Hopefully, there is a happy ending for Colie but perhaps it
won't have JC in it.
In WYOMING WINTER Diana Palmer takes us back to Jacobsville
which as any fan knows is one of the kindest places on earth
and filled with some of those most eclectic characters by
far. But that is probably why a visit to this place is so
wonderful. And I couldn't think of a better location for
Colie to get her head on straight. The people of Jacobsville
will definitely make Colie one of their own and that means
she will be loved, cherished and cared for. Sure it will be
difficult moving away from her father but life sometimes
sets the road ahead. And for Colie, this move is essential
on many fronts. It was just what Colie needed and deserved.
WYOMING WINTER is another heartwarming yet challenging
romance story by the master of small-town conflicts and love.
