UNTANGLING
THE KNOT
By

BLURB:
“I did what?”
Twenty-eight year old Gabriella Bessu is St. Therese’s
meticulous wedding ceremony coordinator. So the fact that she has mistakenly
signed her newest couple up for an annulment, rather than a wedding, sends her
Catholic guilt into overdrive.
But who can blame her? The groom is gorgeous and his two
kids tug at Gabriella’s heart in a way that overcomes all her best intentions.
Before long she’s in over her head, fixing her mixed-up plans and helping the
children and dad come to terms with their haunting grief for the mother and
wife they lost years earlier.
Can Gabriella untangle her own fears and accept the messy
life that God has handed them?
Mandy’s accusations rang through
Gabriella’s mind and guilt practically doubled her over. She dropped her bags
inside the door and went into the bathroom to splash cold water on her face.
The image that met her in the mirror had shame written all over it.
What had she been thinking? Ryan and the kids belonged to Mandy and she had been
acting like a lovesick teenager. Scenes from the beach flashed through her
mind; Ryan’s smiles at her and the desire she’d had to reach out and kiss him.
Filled with self-loathing, she shook her head to get rid of the images.
Her dropped bags at the front
door mocked her, so she picked them up and dragged them to her bedroom then
crumpled onto the bed. One hand over her eyes, she let the images flood her.
With her free hand she reached over and switched on her radio hoping to block
out the accusing voices in her head. Her favorite news show was quizzing
celebrities on the week’s news, but something about their conversation alarmed
her. It took a moment to realize what it was.
She stared at the radio, stunned.
If Whose News was on, it meant it was Sunday . . . Sunday!
And, for the first time in years, Gabriella had forgotten to
go to Mass.

Thank you for hosting this tour!
Hi Tina...
Thanks so much for hosting me today.
I'm looking forward to seeing what your readers have to say about their own tangled up knots so I will check back and reply to comments and questions. In the meantime, though, I just wanted to say a huge thanks for sharing the journey.
Cheers,
Deanne
Thanks Deanne for stopping by, best of luck with your book.
I don't know that I've gotten myself into too many knots. I can say I have with friends though. I have a tendency to speak up when I should be quiet. Needless to say even if someone asks for your opinion they don't necessarily want to know what you are going to say.
Hi Tiffany...
I can so relate to this. I have definitely learned to keep my own peace, but it isn't always easy, especially as a mom.
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I love all feedback, so if you read the book be sure to stop back at amazon or goodreads and leave your review.
Thanks again and all my best,
Deanne
