Author Gweneth Jules Moorhouse was born on Dominica, a small jewel of an island in the Caribbean West Indies. After her father abandoned his family and broke their mother's heart, her childhood was one of uncertainty and sadness, His broken promise to marry the mother of his children had no impact on her devotion to him. His betrayal ruined her life.
Gweneth's mother worked tirelessly to keep her children safe through it all. Luckily for the family, her mother's family stepped up to offer support where they could. The children never really knew their father, but the surprise discovery of their mother's most treasured possession-a box of letters from their father, in which he vainly and repeatedly promised to marry her and take care of his children-changed everything. The children learned the painful lesson their mother never did. As a result, they ejected him from their lives-and their hearts.
But despite all of life's harsh lessons about love and trust, fate had a generous gift for young Gweneth. One day, quite by chance, an American tourist came into the department store where she worked. Now, she shares the beautiful story of their romance and courtship, and how he eventually won over her wounded heart. After he returned to the States, theirs was a romance that spanned both time and distance. Once she was sure, she followed him to his home in America, and there they built a life together.
