GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. & ALL THOSE WHO SERVED AND ARE SERVING THIS NATION!!!

This is my mom and dad. This year has been, and is, super hard for me. I miss my mom, who passed away in October of 2011, terribly and my dad too. (He passed away on November 9, 1979.) My dad is on the right. As a result of the war, my dad and the other soldiers in WW11 and every other war fought and still being fought paid, and are paying, a high price for our freedom. Whenever my dad was asleep, each time we woke Pops up, we had to stand way back from him becasue he always came up swinging his fisted hands. Many nights he would jump on top of my mom and yell, "Suicide bombers! Man the hatches!" He drank heavily to forget the horrors he lived in the war. Like buddies blown up in front of him, living in constant fear for the lives of those they loved and for their own life, and eating bread infested with maggots, killing other human beings while looking them in the face, just to name a few. At first Pops said they used to remove the maggots, then after awhile they just ate them because there were too many and they were hungry. He said when you're hungry, you'll eat anything. Thank God I've never known that kind of hunger. Please take a moment to remember all of those who in the past and in the present, who have and who are, fighting to keep the freedom we now enjoy. And be careful to not let anyone, political or otherwise, rob you of that freedom that cost so many wonderful men and women their lives and some, even their very sanity, their limbs and health, and their family life etc. GOD BLESS THE USA AND ALL THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!

Back cover blurb:

Furious with God, Olivia Roseman vows to never trust Him again. Why should she? Once again her prayers have gone unanswered, and once again another loved one has been ripped from her. With no job and only a few dollars, Olivia makes a choice to start over again. Without God and without love. However, her handsome new boss isn't going to make forgetting God or keeping her vow to never love again very easy. Erik Cole questions the sanity of his moving from Swamper City, Alabama to Charity, West Virginia. That is, until he hires airbrush designer Olivia Roseman to paint his monster truck. When he senses that she’s a gal who is down on her luck, he vows to do whatever he can to help her. Only problem is, the little beauty creates more challenges than one. As his feelings toward her deepen, all Erik can do is hope and pray that one day Olivia will open up her heart to Christ—and to him.

Reviews:

5.0 out of 5 stars

"Ever had a day that nothing has gone right? Well, Olivia has had that kind of life. Bounced around, abused, and abandoned, life has now taken a very nasty turn again.

Knowing she has to get away or drown in the misery, she risks it all to become a designer for Eric's monster trucks. But when Eric develops feelings for his beautiful new employee, can Olivia let go of the past, or will this be deja vu all over again?

I loved this story! My only advice is to get out the Kleenex when Olivia finally comes clean about how rough life has been because when she starts to forgive, your tears won't stop for a long, long time!

Powerful and highly recommended!"

5.0 out of 5 stars GET REVVED ... FOR FAST-PACED ROMANCE!, October 8, 2009

By 

Julie Lessman (St. Louis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deja Vu Bride (Paperback)

If you loved Deb Ullrick's wonderfully unique debut novel, The Bride Wore Coveralls--and I did--you're gonna love switching gears from mud bog racing to monster trucks in this fun and unique love story that cranks up the RPMs on romance in the fast lane. Like the beautiful body of a sleek and stylish racecar, there is so much more that makes this story haul and hum under the hood. Debra Ullrick has a real knack for unique storylines, likeable characters, easy dialogue and romance that truly revs, but even more so is the amazing spiritual message woven throughout, creating the perfect finish to a fun and fast-paced read.

The Unintended Groom - Sneak Cover Preview!

Coming June 2013

A Perfect Partnership 

When Abby Bowen's dream of love is dashed, she pursues a new dream; opening a dinner theater in Hot Mineral Springs, Colorado. There's just one hitch; she needs a male business partner. The handsome father of twins who answers Abby's ad is perfect...perhaps too perfect. Working with someone like Harrison Kingsley—without losing her heart—will be harder than Abby anticipated.

It's a good thing Harrison's arrangement with Abby is strictly business. Because with her kind soul, smiling blue eyes and gentle way with his boys, he could easily fall for her. But the longer he works with Abby, the more Harrison realizes that the Lord might have an entirely different partnership planned for them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...

This is why I write. (A letter from a reader.)

I received the following letter from a reader. It blessed my heart and reminded me why I write. And that is... to touch reader's lives.

With his permission, I want to share it with  you.

Here it is:


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Dear Mrs Ullrick
Thank you very much for writing The Unlikely Wife. I was really touched by it and I very much enjoyed that the references to the Bible weren't just there to make it more realistic for the timeframe, like in other Harlequin Historical/Love Inspired Historical books I've read so far. It's a really beautiful story, and, especially towards the end, I quite started to envy Michael a bit. I pray the Lord will one day give me a wife that's as good for me as Selina was for Michael, and I can't wait to see what he has in store for me. I pray the Lord will make me worthier each day, but I'm longing for it to happen as soon as possible. On the other hand I wouldn't want to risk having someone else instead of Him in the centre, when I'm already struggling at that as it is.
Again, I really thank you for this beautiful work. It is rare for any literature touching an avid reader like me so deeply. I will most likely read through many of your other books over time now. I'd certainly rather buy something like this than to buy just some Harlequin book by a random writer as I've done so far.
Kind Greetings from Switzerland
Joel
