Dakota Child

Trapped in a North Dakota blizzard, single mother Vivian Halliday's prayer for herself and her child is answered. Rescue comes in the seemingly terrifying form of Billy Black, the hulk of a man feared by all the townsfolk. Yet in the home he shares with his ailing mother, the handsome, gentle giant warms her baby's bottles and sings sweet lullabies that lull even Vivian to peaceful sleep.
When the storm abates and it is safe to leave, will she seek the life that led her back to the village…or stay where she's found an unexpected family for herself and her Dakota child?

Her upbringing also included being taught to trust God in everything and through everything-a theme that resonates in her stories. She and her husband raised fourteen children-ten adopted. She currently shares her home with her husband, a grown son and a live-in paraplegic client.
