Looking In The Window: Ann Jones Defends Her Faith in Breaking Barriers




 Christianity underground...churches destroyed...Annā€™s determined to save the faith she loves. James wants to protect her.



Five Star Reviews: What people are saying about Breaking Barriers

ā€œThis is a short novella, but it is packed with great dialog, authentic three-dimensional characters, and page-turning action. Then there is a sweet romance tucked inside as well. This could happen anywhere, anytime in today's world.ā€


***


ā€œHang on for a whirlwind of a tale thatā€™ll take you to the sunshine state of Florida and have you oohing, awing, shaking your head and even smiling throughout. Author Gail Pallotta has done it again, written an exceptional faith based, action packed romance. Bravo to a great read!!ā€


***


ā€œThe first words gripped my heart and twisted hard, and Ms. Pallottaā€™s words didnā€™t release their strangle hold until the final sentence.ā€


ā€œHer characters bloomed on each page, except for her antagonistā€”The Worm. He slithered and slimmed everything he touched. And Ann was his target. Ms. Pallottaā€™s twists and turns in the plot line had me screaming at Annā€”ā€œNooo!ā€ But convinced God called her for this moment, Ann plunges on, knowing every day might be her last. Was it worth the price she had to pay?ā€

ā€œI highly recommend, Breaking Barriers, with a true to life suspenseful story line that held my attention from beginning to end! With inspiring Christian responses. I loved that the setting of the novel is in coastal Florida! And, that mid way through the novel the key characters take a nice, refreshingly peaceful & tranquil AirBoat ride through the Everglades, that came to life for me with Gail Pallotta's excellent writing!!ā€

ā€œ...the story Gail has developed shows us clearly that those with faith can stand against opposition, whatever form it takes. I enjoyed the character of Ann, James and Freddie. We're taught that first impressions of someone can be wrong and Ann learned that and made things right. Love, faith and friendship conquer all, a wonderful message for us. I didn't want to stop reading as the end of each chapter left me hanging on a cliff as good writers do.ā€

Looking Out the Window: Memories on the Heart

Several weeks ago my husband, Rick, and I ate at a restaurant we frequent fairly regularly. The cute, young waitress who usually waits on us took our orders for burgers and fries. Iā€™ll call her Mandy. As usual Mandyā€™s smile and bubbly personality brightened our day. We giggled and confessed to her that we shouldnā€™t eat the fries, but we were going to do it just this once. She joked. ā€œOkay, youā€™re being bad today.ā€ Not long after we got our food a couple came in and sat in the booth behind us. Mandy walked up to the table with her big grin. ā€œHi, how are you?ā€ she asked. The man, who had salt and pepper colored hair and a pudgy face, spoke in a harsh tone, ā€œI want the steak.ā€ ā€œSure, which one would you like?ā€ Mandy asked. ā€œI donā€™t want you to put it in the microwave. That will make it tough. Do you understand?ā€ Mandyā€™s lips turned down. ā€œYes sir, which one do you want to order?ā€ ā€œI want it medium rare. I donā€™t want blood oozing out of it. I want it cooked right.ā€ ā€œYes sir, which steak di...

Looking out the Window: Carol Wilson James Talks about Her New Christmas Book, Christmas Lights and Moonlit Nights. Tells Us How to Make A Travelling Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  A Warm Welcome to Carol Wilson James Hi Carol, I can't wait to hear about your new book and the sandwiches. Thanks for sharing with us. To receive a FREE short story sign up for Carol's  newsletter The Traveling Grilled Cheese  Because my dad was a career military officer, the longest we ever lived in one place was three years. And when the Air Force said ā€œMove,ā€ we moved. Sixty years ago, there werenā€™t fast food restaurants or grocery stores open twenty-four hours a day. So my mom had to figure out how to feed the family when nothing was open and she had no stove. Thus, she made "Ironed Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.ā€ (To this day, my brother chooses these over a standard grilled cheese.) Ingredients Bread, cheese, butter, aluminum foil, and your iron.  Heat your iron. Rub one side of a piece of foil with butter. Fold it in half, buttered sides together.  Make a cheese sandwich.   Insert your sandwich between the buttered sides of the foil (like a taco)...
