Love's Promise

Résumé

Manny and Mona watched from the sidelines as all their friends and family were matched by the magic mirror. It promised to show a girl her true love.

But where was their promised love?

Mona could use a little magic in her life. With a sick mom, younger siblings to look after, and a stepfather who worked hard to make ends meet, her life was far from magical. Those she knew who met their true love through the mirror saw a promise of a brighter future. Mona looked in the mirror time and again, with no luck. She saw a reminder of her own loneliness and dismal life.

Then, one day, the image changed.

Manny did not know the girl in the reflection, though he’d seen her face in his dreams many times, but he knew well enough to trust the magic of the mirror. Instantly drawn to this strong and kind woman the mirror showed to him, he hurried to meet her and turn her into his wife.

But when unexpected events turn happy times into the worry of an uncertain future, will their promised love be enough to see them through?
