Marrying the woman he once deserted...
A prodigal seeks forgiveness in this Pinecraft Homecomings story
The last thing widowed single mother Verity Schrock expects is to find her former sweetheart back in town—with a baby. Now the bishop and Leviticus Hilty’s father are insisting they marry for their children’s sake. But the wounded warrior hurt her once before. Can a marriage of convenience possibly heal past wounds enough to risk her heart again?
CHERYL WILLIFORD and her veteran husband, Henry, live in South Texas, where they’ve raised three children and numerous foster children alongside a menagerie of rescued cats, dogs and hamsters. Her love for writing began in a literature class, and now her characters keep her grabbing for paper and pen. She is a member of her local ACFW and CWA chapters, and is a seamstress, watercolorist and loving grandmother.

“You didn’t tell your daed what
I said to you, did you?”
“About you not wanting to marry me?” Levi asked. “Nee. I didn’t bring up the subject. It would just upset him. Come with me tomorrow and see Daed. We’ll tell him our feelings together.”
“We’ll see,” Verity murmured, the butterflies in her stomach fluttering. “I spoke with my mudder. About our marriage.”
His laugh surpriswed her. “I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. She must think Otto’s lost his mind, trying to match the two of us in holy matrimony.”
“She surprised me. She agrees with Otto. Said she and Daed think it’s time I remarry. Seems I’m getting stodgy and set in my ways.”
“Have you gotten stodgy?”
“You don’t want to know what I am, but I’ll tell you what I’ve decided to do.”
“Go on.”
There’s no turning back now. “I will promise to court you, pretend to love you, but that’s all for now.”
“Your promise is good enough for me.”
I can’t tell you how glad I am to be writing books again and enjoying my new way of life to the fullest. The last two years have been difficult ones. I was diagnosed with an early stage carcinoma just outside my pancreas in late 2015. Seems that’s not a good spot to have cancer. The only way to remove it was with a Whipple surgery, which is called the bad, bad, bad surgery. Very dangerous and difficult to recover from.
I underwent the surgery in October of that year. I don’t remember a lot about those first six months, but I can tell you it wasn’t fun. Spent many months in rehab, regaining my ability to eat by mouth after several months with a stomach tube. Lost forty-five pounds. Was as weak as a kitten and stupid from pain meds. Got home safe and had to completely change my way of eating, when I could stomach the thought of food.
I started five months of chemo and God, in all His mercy, saw me through that scary period of my life. What a privilege it was to pray for others as they were fighting the good fight. The chemo made me sick, but I didn’t lose all my hair. Somehow, that seemed so important at the time. The chemo also gave me “chemo brain,” which kept me from writing for ages. I just couldn’t concentrate and not writing didn’t make me happy. I longed to be back in Pinecraft, finishing Verity and Leviticus’s story.
As you can see by the book in your hand, I did finish their story, and am so thrilled to say I’m in the middle of book three of the Pinecraft Homecomings series. I’m still dealing with brain fog at times. I can tell you there’s no one more miserable than a writer who can’t think clearly enough to plot and write.
To God be all the glory as He heals me! To my editors,
