My guest today Author Allie Pleiter is excited about her latest Love Inspired romance.
Here’s Allie:<\/p>\n

“Every once in a while, life hands you a story too good to leave alone. A good story is valuable, but when it also introduces you to amazing people, it\u2019s priceless. This happened to me with Bluegrass Easter, my current book and the last in my Kentucky Corners series. I\u2019m very fond of the people at Esther\u2019s Place–it\u2019s so much more than a yarn store. The sheep farm associated with Esther\u2019s Place is a touching story in itself; as Donna Leher puts it, \u201csometimes God takes you on an adventure, changing your course and enriching your life as you ride along.\u201d You can read their family\u2019s entire adventures at <\/span>www.esthersplacefibers.com<\/span><\/span><\/a>. These truly are strong women with brave stories.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My story with them begins but when life handed the Leher family a lamb population explosion. True to their faithful natures, they chose to view it as an adventure rather than a problem (but didn\u2019t hesitate to ask for a little prayer to shore up their \u201cadventure\u201d). An \u201centhusiastic\u201d ram doubling a flock of sheep on short notice? A surprise bumper crop of fleecy little springtime lambs? You can\u2019t blame me here: As both a knitter and an inspirational romance author, how could I resist asking if I could create my final Kentucky book plot from their story? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My heroine Audrey Lupine learns the lessons of bravery in the face of life\u2019s surprises. She thinks life has exploded beyond her coping, but the truth is God has just taken her beyond her comforts to the place where He can do His most amazing work. Audrey is stronger than she knows, but it takes the support of handsome veterinarian Paul Sycamore to show her that strength. She, in turn, shows Paul that an explosion of life can also be the rebirth of hope for him and his daughter. As one of the funnier characters in the story puts it, \u201cit\u2019s a ca-<\/span>lamb<\/span><\/i>-ity\u201d of epic proportions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
