I also like to see justice prevail, whether it's the villian being caught or the hero and heroine in a romance living happily-ever-after. Reading is therapy, for sure :)Narellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665380446283721576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-52299529446455945212016-09-21T16:41:30.995+10:002016-09-21T16:41:30.995+10:00Yes, good to keep in mind, even it doesn't alw...Yes, good to keep in mind, even it doesn't always mimic reality.

And that's not what I want to write, either.

I hope you enjoy my latest book. Some difficult endings in that too.

Agree that sometimes we just need to have a happy ending in our fiction, even though in reality and in Jesus we have the ultimate happy ending. Still hard though to help others at times when they are in pain. Looking forward to reading your new book, which is on my desk.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217918666756258037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-8284024972895908822016-09-21T09:08:35.089+10:002016-09-21T09:08:35.089+10:00Thanks for the post Carol.

For the Christian there is always hope - even in the darkest circumstances as no ending here on earth is the final one and God's love is eternal.Jeanette O'Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057798704247611224noreply@blogger.com
