POST 2 OF 2 FOR TUESDAY
CHRISTMAS STOCKING SWEETHEARTS Book 3
Sarah Lamb’s Away In Deepwater
She had the perfect life, until it wasn’t. He’s hiding to forget. Heartbreak can’t heal twice—can it?
Trying to escape a scandal, Samantha Lundy, a talented singer with the voice of an angel, moves to Deepwater. It is her hope this tiny town in the middle of nowhere will both heal and hide her. Determined never to love or sing again so she can forget her past, she plans to become a recluse.
Dirk Schmit is surprised when a package is delivered to his print shop. Upon opening it, he sees it is actually intended for the woman who just moved next door. Curious to meet her, he brings her the package and is stunned to find the very thing he doesn’t believe in happens, does. Love at first sight. But Dirk refuses to be more than friendly—heartbreak can’t heal twice.
Samantha wants nothing to do with Dirk or anyone else, but as the inhabitants of Deepwater are determined to make her feel welcome, her icy interior thaws. When an opportunity to use her talents to help arise, Samantha wonders if perhaps she can find her voice again.

Its a ticket to see the play “Tunnel of Love” starring Robert Cummings. It is unforgetable because it is the only time I ever got to go to an off broadway play and see a Hollywood movie star. This was years ago, probably around 1964. Some of you probably have never heard of Robert Cummings. lol

The ticket was to see a live stage performance of the musical “Camelot” somewhere in the Wash., D.C. area.
