"Standring's Christmas Wish", by Gratiana Lovelace, 2018 (Completed)

Ralph John Standring is trying to make a new home and a new life for himself after being jilted at the altar. He has lost the ability to trust, since his trust was broken. And he doesn't believe in love anymore. Yet what does anyone want but to belong--to someone or somewhere? And to have them belong to you--be they lover, family, or friend. Will Ralph have his own Christmas wish fulfilled this year, of him belonging to someone special, and having she belonging to him? Ralph had vowed never to trust and never to love again. Yet this Christmas, Ralph will have to learn to trust and to love again when a kind and loving lady welcomes him into her heart-if he is to establish a loving future for himself and others.
