It also happens to be true.

Read on to encounter the deep friendship that develops between them during their six days of vacation.

This love story unfolds in the era before cell phones or the Internet, so North and South begin long-distance letter writing. However, there still remains a huge obstacle in the way of their relationship. They both have jobs and family and friends that they love dearly and could not easily leave behind. Follow along as their love story continues against all odds and as they overcome many obstacles, one of which had the potential to separate them forever. North Meets South is a true and almost perfect love story that you do not want to miss.

      Foreword

      I remember clearly the day that I finally got the courage to tell two of my best friends that I was going to write this book. It was the spring of 2012, and I was eating lunch with them. Five minutes later, my phone rang. It was my husband, who simply said these words, He thinks it’s cancer. My world was instantly turned upside down. A week later, my beloved husband was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in his jawbone. He endured a fourteen-hour surgery to remove the cancer and place a titanium plate inside his jaw to hold his jawbones together. After weeks that turned into months after his original surgery, his jaw had still not healed from the trauma of the surgery. His jawbone had not fused together due to a raging infection that sent him to the emergency room. By the grace of God, he finally healed from the infection, and we thought that horrendous trial was behind us. But we were wrong. A year later the titanium plate in his jaw broke in half while we were on vacation in Colorado. This meant yet another surgery to place a new plate in his jaw. Needless to say, my writing was on hold throughout this very difficult time for our family. But all thanks be to God that my husband has been cancer free for over four years now.

      However, there were many other crises during these last four years since I first began to write this book. Our treasured youngest daughter endured a very traumatic event at the age of sixteen that sent her into a dark world of anger rages, depression, and suicidal thoughts. It was one of the worst trials that our whole family has ever endured. Once again, by the grace of God alone, she is now emotionally and mentally healthy and happily married to a wonderful, godly young man.

      In June of 2013, I was right beside my dear Daddy when he took his final breath on this earth. I knew his congestive heart failure was getting worse, but I was still utterly heartbroken to let him go. I had already said good-bye to my adored and only sister (about three years earlier) when her body that was ravaged by cancer, breathed her last breath. And I had lost my dear sweet Momma in 2011, just fifteen days before our beloved oldest daughter’s wedding. Our daughter had deeply desired that her Granddad and Grammy could attend her wedding, but it was not meant to be to have her Grammy there.

      If that was not enough hardship, I was also going through menopause and battling what was later diagnosed as bipolar depression. The last episode of depression was so severe that I was not sure I would make it through. I also had no hope that I could ever return to writing this book. But by the grace of Almighty God alone, I was led to the right medication that truly rescued my life. I have felt like my true self for the first time in many, many years. To God be all the glory for giving me the courage and the motivation to finish this book four years after my journey as a writer began.

      Introduction

      I’ve had a lot of dreams for my life. Some have come to pass, like my dream to see the Grand Canyon. It was so incredible when I first saw it; it was well worth the wait at age forty-nine. Some of my dreams have died, like my dream to see Ireland with my dear sweet Momma. We both had always wanted to see the beauty of the Emerald Isle. We love Irish music and the Irish accent. Something just seemed to be calling us to visit there. But my dear Momma had a heart attack the night after we had been to see a travel agent about planning our trip. So after that, she decided it was too risky to travel that far from home. Some dreams I have just given up on. I had always wanted to learn to roller-skate as a kid, but I was too scared to try. Well, that desire returned with a vengeance at the age of forty-eight, if you can believe that. So I began my roller-skating lessons on my kitchen vinyl floor, with my skates that I bought at a used sporting goods store. I would practice rolling from one end of my tiny kitchen to the other end while grabbing hold of the chairs that I had lined up to be my railing. My lessons even progressed to the roller-skating rink, but I fell flat on my tailbone during one of my first attempts at skating away from the railing. I must have severely bruised my tailbone because I was in a lot of pain for over a month.

      So I decided to give up on my roller-skating career and perhaps pursue a less-injury-producing dream. So I began pursuing my lifelong dream of learning to play the piano. I had a friend in middle school that played the piano so beautifully. I loved going over to her house and just listening to her play. So at age fifty, I learned to play chopsticks, and I was working on Row, Row, Row Your Boat when a family health crisis postponed my piano lessons. I have a lot to learn about playing the piano, but at least there shouldn’t be too much risk of breaking a hip. That was my dear hubby’s fear while I was pursuing my roller-skating career. I have found that sometimes dreams change over time. I have a new dream now of seeing Ireland with my husband and precious daughters. But part of that dream would have to include a journey to see the sunset over Galway Bay. That was something that Momma wanted so much to experience, so I would want to see it for her. My Momma left this earth on August 5, 2011, to go home to be with Jesus. She never made it to Ireland, but I feel completely certain that not even the Emerald Isle can rival the beauty of heaven.

      Yes, I’ve had many dreams over the years, but there will always be one that will stand out in my life as the deepest dream of my heart. And that is what this book is all about.

      Chapter One

      From a very early age, I always had the dream of getting married to a prince and having children. It was an exciting day indeed when my sister and I discovered Momma’s wedding dress in the attic of Grandma and Papa’s house. I can’t
