Finding Faith
Pirates & Faith - Book 4
". . . I just wish she wouldn’t keep trying to marry me off.”
“Marriage isn’t a bad thing,” Edward told his daughter gently. “I know it’s not, Papa,” Emma replied. “It’s just not for me. I love being who I am and being the captain of the Mercy. I don’t want things to ever change.” But as hard as Emma tries to stop it, she finds change is inevitable, particularly when her father’s business, and therefore her livelihood, is threatened. The last thing she wants thrown into the midst of it is romance. Determined never to marry or give up her passion for sailing, Emma’s quick temper lands her in more and more trouble, especially when it brings a kind and handsome rival captain into her life, throwing it into turmoil. In the dramatic conclusion to Pirates & Faith, can Emma find the faith to trust that God’s plans truly are better than her own, or will it be too late for a second chance? |

Writing This Book
When I finished writing A Captain’s Heart,
I really thought that was the end and that my pirate series would be a
trilogy, but then, on July 4, 2008 my imagination went to work again.
What happened was I had finished my first edit of A Captain’s Heart
that morning and felt sad about leaving my characters behind. So God
used that and gave me the idea to write a story about Emma.
It was quite interesting getting it all worked out. Of course I had no intention of ever writing about Emma when I wrote Every Tear, but it was very fun to look at the young girl I had created for that story and imagine what she would be like as a young woman.
Finding Faith was the most unusual story for me to write. I am hopelessly romantic and not a huge fan of reading books about women who are willful, stubborn, highly independent, and constantly refusing the men who love them, so to write about someone who had absolutely no interest in romance and marriage was quite the challenge. It definitely exercised my writing skills.
I struggled terribly with Finding Faith. I tried to keep pushing through it, but I got to about chapter thirteen and completely ran out of steam. At that time I set the book aside and for a long while I did not think I’d ever finish it. Finally I made myself go back to it and finished it on February 27, 2009. I still did not even like it after I was finished and was really discouraged about my writing, but after many times of editing, I realized it was not nearly as bad as I thought and that Satan was only trying to discourage me.
So it was with quite a struggle and a lot of work that I’ve reached the official end of my Pirates & Faith series and have learned a lot through it in the six years it took to complete it. It has increased my faith and taught me a lot about patience, and I hope God will use it to really touch people’s lives in just the way they need it.
