How did the Owen Family Saga begin?
With a love story, of course, the most romantic love story of all: when Rod and Julia met.
God must have conspired with the angels to put Roderick Owen of Shenandoah County, Virginia, and Julia Helm, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the same place on one magical day in Spring, 1840. All nature paused, as though holding its breath, waiting to see what would happen.
In this short novella, author Marsha Ward tells the story of the Owen Family origins, describing in her delicate language the tender feelings of two people who need to find each other in a very small window of time.
Debra Erfert, author of Snowdrift, says:
I love the way Marsha Ward turns an eloquent phrase. I always wondered how Rod and Julia met. Rod had promised his dying mother to find a Christian wife, and that’s what he did, and Julia being able to make a delicious apple pie was icing on the cake. This is a sweet story about love at first sight–which I totally believe in.
Jan M. Martin, author of Heir of Deceit, says:
Rod and Julia meet and are married days later. Though this is a sweet romance, there is plenty of heat between the two sweethearts. Marsha Ward’s vivid writing makes every scene come to life.
