The Preacher's Bride (Brides Of Simpson Creek) - Plot & Excerpts
It was Monday, press day, and by now her father would have a stack of newspapers to be delivered to the local businesses that advertised in the paper. She’d deliver them, and by the time she returned, he’d have another armful to be taken to those residents who subscribed. Those subscribers who lived on outlying ranches had their papers delivered to the post office, to be claimed when they ventured to town. She’d lain awake a long time last night thinking about what Gil had said. If there was a God, had He really stayed with Gil during his crisis of faith after the tragedy, or was that just wishful thinking on Gil’s part? And who was the woman he had mentioned, the woman who’d been fatally shot, and her unborn child with her? Had she been important to Gil somehow, or just an acquaintance from the local church? Why had she been shot? How awful that when she died, two lives were lost instead of just one. The sound of the printing press clacking away dissolved the remaining cobwebs in Faith’s mind, helped by the strong cup of coffee she’d downed before she’d left home.
