Renuel, the 'Wanderer', is tall, dark and lean. A foreigner on a grievous, underground mission collides, on a city street, with Linnea Johanneson, the Parson's daughter. She is a fair-faced and light-hearted girl, fine and keen. Quickly, but unwittingly, she sees into his pathos, captured by his tormented, empty gaze.
Thus God, the dream-maker, begins their story of unspoken, deep love.
This tale will unrelentingly romance and capture you and forbid your closing its pages. Either the antagonist, Linnea's dark, would-be lover succeeds, or the wanderer overcomes him. Renuel believes he must choose between saving Linnea or his infant niece, secret heir to the throne.
Natalyia, mother of Renuel, arrives in America, incognito, and is welcomed into the parsonage by Linnea and the parson. He is smitten by her beauty and selflessness, and drawn by her sudden abduction, into intrigue and romance.

She has been writing and telling tales since the age of ten. Names from stories she has told in the oral tradition like, 'Flighty the flying pony, Abigail the girl heroine, the triplets, Ope, Pahpah and Peterkin, have danced across her children's and grandchildren's imaginations for decades. These unwritten stories and many others, written down in notebooks, some partially begun on random paper are stowed away in folders with unfinished reams of poetry and journals in excess of dozens and dozens. Judy is a storyteller and always will be until the first page of her heavenly story begins. You'll have to wait to hear that. But, don't miss this newest (or is it?) story!
