Although Hank and Sage are the hero and heroine, Jane’s actions set the story in motion.
Throughout the book I kept asking myself the question: Why would a woman steal another woman’s baby? To me, it’s inconceivable. Yet the North family forgave Jane and granted her grace. Astounding, right? So many times we let bitterness triumph over forgiveness.
God’s command is to love another, a theme that resonates throughout the book. Love is everywhere in Owl Creek!
I truly appreciate you spending some time reading Her Secret Alaskan Family and meeting this cast of characters!
Blessings,
Belle

Note to Readers
“Welcome to the last frontier,” Sage Duncan murmured as she walked to the bow of the ferry and looked out across the breathtaking waters of Kachemak Bay.
Despite her frayed nerves, Sage was able to appreciate the raw beauty of her surroundings. She took a deep breath and inhaled the crisp Alaskan air. Snow-covered mountains rose up to greet her. A bird swooped down toward the water, then emerged a few seconds later with a fish in its mouth. Sage shook her head at the stunning sights unfolding before her eyes. The vista was spectacular. It was like nothing she had ever seen before in her life.
In her wildest dreams she had never envisioned herself traveling to this magnificent land. It had always seemed so out of reach, like a faraway constellation in the heavens.
She shivered and wrapped her arms around her middle. This Alaskan climate was a far cry from back home in Florida where heat and humidity reigned. Sage couldn’t remember the last time she had seen snow, but as a little girl she had fantasized about catching snowflakes on her tongue and sledding down snowy mountains in the wintertime.
Sage shook off those long-ago memories. She hadn’t traveled all this way to Owl Creek, Alaska, in order to live out her childhood dreams. Her reasons for coming here were complicated, and hurt bubbled up inside her as the reality of her situation kicked her in the gut.
