A december bride by denise hunter6/27/2023 ![]() In addition to the romance, mystery, and humor, there is a deeper message about the power our past can have over our future and God’s unfailing love. The Goodbye Bride is an engaging story and I couldn’t put it down. Zac is an irresistible hero, risking his heart to protect the one who broke it in the first place.

Vi, who always claimed not to know which member of her San Francisco commune knocked her up in 1973, has a surprise of her own.
