Elizabeth Skiler

Resurrected Hope Elizabeth Skiler

Though rumors circulate in her small hometown of O'Malley, Callie ignores the talk that she's on her way to becoming an old maid. She loves working beside her father in the family business and if the single men in her town are too small-minded to accept her as a confident and independent woman, well, that's their problem. When Callie's father hires a new CPA, she has reservations. From the first moment they meet, Allen's stuffy and pompous attitude exhausts her usually endless supply of patience. Yet for some mysterious reason, Callie finds herself uncomfortably drawn to him. A series of tragedies strikes and Callie believes she alone must shoulder the burdens for her loved ones. Just when she's wondering how she will help her family survive, Callie discovers there is more to Allen than only his disdain for her. She begins to wonder if he might actually be the man she secretly dreams of, but thought she'd never find in O'Malley. Callie soon questions the old adage that we are never given more than we can bear. Is it possible we're given more than we can handle so that we might learn to let go and let love guide us?
