FamilyFiction readers’ favorite
romance author of 2012, Julie
Lessman, gives readers what they
have been longing for in her ebook
novella, A Light in the Window: An
Irish Christmas Love Story
—the
beginning of the 37-year love story
of Marcy and Patrick O’Connor
from her O’Connor saga, which
has spanned six books. “It was
an itch in my fingers and a throb
in my heart because this is the
story I’ve been dying to write!!”
explains Julie. “As I closed in on
the final book in the O’Connor
saga, A Love Surrendered (Revell
Books), I found myself a bit weepy
over saying goodbye to this very
passionate family who has become
like my own. I’ve spent the past
five years weaving love stories for
Marcy and Patrick’s children, so
I just figured it was high time to
take a peek at where it all began.”
