Historical fiction fans will enjoy these four stories from mid-nineteenth century Maryland, where days are tested by sorrow and renewed by hope.

These four full-length romances show faith in action as lives are brought together in unusual ways: One couple's new romance is pulled apart by suspicion...strangers are brought together in a marriage of convenience...seven war orphans need a father figure...three children need a mother.

Loree has traveled coast to coast and border to border, appearing on national, regional, and local TV and radio shows.
Although this once-upon-a-time traveling troubadour refuses to say when, exactly, she traded her Yamaha for a wedding ring, she IS willing to admit that, every now and then, she blows the dust off her six-string to croon a tune or two. But mostly, she just writes (and writes).
Loree and her husband split their time between a home in the Baltimore suburbs and a cabin in the Allegheny Mountains, where she continues to perfect her taleant for identifying critter tracks. Her favorite pass time? Spending long, leisurely hours with her grandchildren... all seven of them!
She loves hearing from her readers, and answers every letter, personally. You can write her @ http://www.loreelough.com, where "If you're patient, you'll hear some hauntingly beautiful music!"
