Destiny's Wavering Road

Book excerpt: Destiny’s Wavering Road By: Linda MorningStar Some people are content with the journey they travel along the road of life. They think they’re in control of where they’re heading. Mara Jacobs believes that, and so does her grandmother, Matilda Mathewsen. And although they live very different lives, they are both about to experience an unexpected U-turn as destiny intervenes. Long-haul truck driver Mara’s fate will be sealed when she wakes up on the floor in a motel room far from home. She is surrounded by police and has no idea how she arrived there. Her driving partner and husband Joe is also missing, along with their tractor-trailer. Mara learns Joe is responsible for her dilemma, and anger sends her packing. She returns to her childhood home in Stone Hill Valley, where she was raised by her grandmother, Matilda. Destiny redirects Matilda’s path the moment she steps out her back door with the intent to head to the grocery store. It’s there that she sees the woman in black who has haunted the ancestral home for decades and is considered an omen of death to anyone she appears to. As the mysteries evolve, the two women travel a new road of life together in a most unexpected direction. Destiny’s Wavering Road is a book of fiction, part mystery, part romance, part family saga.
