BITTERSWEET PASSION continues The Westmoreland Diaries series by Peggy Webb. The narrative is interspersed by journal entries spanning four decades penned by Anne Beaufort Westmoreland as she records the challenges and joys of her life with husband Michael. Theirs is a special kind of love: they knew at first sight they were bound together as soul mates, and even as Michael's career as a mountaineer carries him thousands of miles away, they have always treasured their bond. As parents, Anne and Michael only wish their children could experience the kind of love they share. This selection in The Westmoreland Diaries is their daughter Emily's story.

With a voice of an angel and the daring of a seductress, Skylar Tate thrills fans with her sexy videos and sultry voice. When she meets Methodist Minister Daniel Westmoreland, she immediately attempts to ignore the chemistry because of her past. Her father had been a "hell fire and brimstone" preacher intent upon saving his daughter's soul. When she ran away at sixteen, her father brought her home. When she ran away at eighteen, she stayed away. No way does Skylar need another minister in her life, no matter how sexy he might be.

Standing at his father's bedside, Daniel hears the voice of an angel. When he learns the angel's identity, Daniel rushes out to buy her six CDs and the most erotic musical video he has ever watched. Despite their obvious differences, he is hooked. Even as he fights a crisis of faith, worries over his mother's well being, and prays for his father's recovery, Daniel pursues this signing sensation, defying tabloids and irate congregation members with equal fervor.

Author Peggy Webb heart touching BITTERSWEET PASSION touches the beauty and the challenges of love in its most heart breaking and yet emotionally satisfying possibilities. Once again the powerful love story of Anne and Michael frame a memorable tale of love not to be missed. As Anne struggles to believe in Michael's recovery four months after his tragic accident, so does Skylar struggle to believe in the possibility of love for herself. Her spirited determination and indomitable spirit conceal a wounded soul that Daniel remains determined to heal. Indeed, Daniel's determination echoes his father's determination as the reader becomes privy to Michaels occasional reflections as he struggles to come out of his coma. In addition, Webb resolves the conflict of careers without the usual compromise that would interfere with these dynamic characterizations. Winner of the WordWeaving Award of Excellence.
