The Price of Freedom

Every breath is a precious gift.

Nate Abernethy learned this lesson the hard way from a very young age. Now, he faces an impossible decision. Should he stay by the side of the woman he's loved since elementary school when he knows each breath she draws could be her last? Even so, Nate feels driven to fulfill the promise he made to his dad to join the military and help catch the insurgents who killed him.
There is no right choice.

For as long as she can remember, Holly Caldwell knew she would never reach old age. Cystic fibrosis robs you of time. Determined not to let CF rule her life, she has always been in a hurry to grow up and experience everything to make up for lost time. Holly fell in love with Nate while she was playing ball on the playground. He is one of the few people who doesn't act like her funeral is going to be tomorrow. They've been in love forever, but suddenly Nate has been acting strange. Holly wonders if her disability has become too much of a strain on the relationship.

Nate is trying to make an impossible choice about their future, but Holly wouldn't want to be treated differently. He needs to balance his reality against the vow he made to his father. He must decide whether to keep his promise to his father or spend every second possible with Holly. Either way, the price of freedom is just too high.

If you enjoy reading clean and wholesome short stories about first loves, this book is for you.

Authors note: The Price of Freedom is a novella which can be read as a standalone. However, it will be better understood if it's read after Jude's Song but before Paths Not Taken.

About the Author

I have been lucky enough to live my own version of a romance novel. I married the guy who kissed me at summer camp. He told me on the night we met that he was going to marry me and be the father of my children.

Eventually, I stopped giggling when he said it, and we've celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary. We have two children. The oldest is a Doctor of Osteopathy. He is across the United States completing his residency, but when he's done, he is going to come back to Oregon and practice Family Medicine. Our youngest son is now tackling middle school and hopes to design video games when he grows up.

I write full time now. I have published two dozen books and have several more underway. I volunteer my time to a variety of causes. I have worked as a Civil Rights Attorney and diversity advocate. I spent several years working for various social service agencies before becoming an attorney.

In my spare time, I love to cook, decorate cakes and of course, I obsessively, compulsively read.

I would be honored if you would take a few moments out of your busy day to check out my website,
