Peaches?" it could be no other,  yet what would she be doing in  Lafayette?

The Tiny woman smiled, "You know me, that's  my name? Since the Hurricane  I haven't

known  myself !" Her smile lit the chapel .


"Yes I do, and you have made a hard decision simple, I'm taking  you home."


Sister Marguerite  lit a candle and knelt in prayer. This surely was God's work sending

 Peaches in need of  help  after forty years. She had asked the lord for a sign to guide her.

She would return to the  Parish where she was  known as Selene Drake

Jules, this is a wonderful story, told with so few words.
Lynn R. Feb 22, 2008, 12:55am EST
Wow, Jules, your talent amazes me. What a beautiful story.
Oh Thank you June glad you think so!!

Lynn I am delighted you think so!
lynn a. Feb 22, 2008, 1:29am EST
It made me wonder is she going back to her old parish as Sr. Marguerite or as Selene. This tells enough to tell of an entire novel written around it. Good one, Jules. I like it.
Thank you Lynn.

It does lay the ground work for a large part of Romantic Always
Mary Beth Magee Feb 22, 2008, 1:10pm EST
Jules, please tell me there's a novel in the works. There is a great story waiting to be told here.
Yes there is
