A Ship Called Abigail (Legacy of Abigail) / Legacy of Abigail (ePub)

Harris Wimberly is widowed. It has been three years since the loss of Ruth, and the loneliness and the grieving remain. Now he is at an emotional crossroad. For him to remain solo will not bring his wife back. Nor would picking up his life and trying to move forward into new love bring her back.

He would love to find love again. But even the thought of being with another woman feels like committing adultery. And he cannot bear to take on that guilt, all the while knowing that he would be innocent of any wrong against his departed wife. Still, somehow, down inside him, it feels wrong.

Now new friends are encouraging him to consider learning to love again. Perhaps there is hope. But how would he go about meeting someone new? It is a different dating world from the time when he dated Ruth.

Anna Forth is raising her thirteen-year-old son by herself. She is doing her best to balance motherhood and a medical practice. She has no time to find love again. It has been four years since the death of her husband. But that time has not eased the pain of loneliness she feels. Besides, her son needs a father figure in his life.

Well meaning, but misguided friends are telling her that she would be acting selfishly to bring a man into her life now. It would be unfair to her son, they tell her. She should simply focus her energy on raising him. That all sounds right for her son is her priority. But yet... That path offers no cure for her loneliness. Besides, her son does need a father figure in his life. And even at thirteen, her son is keenly aware of his need. And his mum's need.
