1. Give us a short summary of Redemption River: Men of Mercy:

11. Do you have a message with the book - what do you hope readers will take away from it? That everyone makes mistakes, and often enough, lack of communication can destroy a relationship. This is a story of Redemption, of a man and woman both realizing the errors of their past and moving through their problems to ultimately find the greatest love of their lives.
12. You married a military man yourself - what is your advice to readers still looking for love? Stay true to yourself. Ultimately, a real man, military or not, should value you and who you are. I fell in love with my man firstly because he showed me respect - he opened doors for me, he bought my dinner and didn't wait for me to pick up the check, when he spoke to other's he had manners and respect, and ultimately - he put me above all others and still does to this day. I know that no matter what happens, he will always be there - you have to feel the same way about your man.
