A Mystic Tale: A Chronicle of Grace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511889728)

This is a novel about romance with a mystical backdrop and laced with the inexplicable. However, you, the reader, may find the story more plausible if you can accept this working hypothesis: That the Power that manages the molecules and galaxies of our world is lovingly disposed toward us and is always looking for ways to bless us. Ana Maria was only hours old when she was left on the doorstep of a convent one chilly night. That same night she and Sister Teresa, who found her, will experience a mystical intervention that will change both their lives. Even so, Ana Maria will endure the loneliness, uncertainty, and even cruelty of an orphan in the foster care system. She will do so with unlikely poise and self-possession. She will grow into a woman of radiant inner beauty, strength, and compelling presence. Years later, Ana Maria and one year old Terry were homeless on a rainy October night in Grand Rapids. Paul Berragan, through circumstances that seemed unlikely even to him, found himself approaching the young woman and child. "The weather station predicts more rain and much colder temperatures tonight. May I offer you and your child a warm, safe place to sleep? Paula found Ana Maria's smile near beatific as she answered, "I'm grateful for your offer, but, if Terry and I go with you, do you expect me to sleep with you tonight?" Paul's mouth fell open; no words came out.
