Quote by Karen Witemeyer

“Not that this woman would need chains to capture a man's attention under normal circumstances. Her milky skin,soft eyes,and that mad riot of reddish-gold corkscrew curls that gave her a pixie-like appearance would see to the task.”

“In the last three years, he'd met many women.Young. Old. Pretty. Plain. Devout. Flirtatious. After living only among men for years,he found he enjoyed the company of women.Their gracious manners.Their gentle ways.Their lovely figures. But never had he felt anything deeper than a surface admiration. Perhaps because he'd been so focused on his training.Yet only after a handful of minutes, Joanna Robbins had touched something deep inside him, as only a kindred spirit could do. She'd experienced the Lord's call on her life as surely as he had.And while he'd been called to minister to many, she'd been called for one. Who was he to say her calling any less significant than his own? In fact her dedication to the one in her care humbled him, gave him a perspective he'd been lacking. In other circumstances,he could easily imagine the two of them becoming friends. Maybe after he settled in Brenham, he could write to her, encourage her.”

“Joanna pivoted and bit back a groan of despair.Crockett Archer was even more handsome than she'd remembered. Somehow his rancher's clothing made him seem more approachable, more...within her reach. And if that wasn't the most ridiculous notion, she didn't know what was. A man with his looks and kind heart could have any woman he chose. He'd never settle for a shy, freckled redhead with an ex-outlaw for a father. She was everything the ideal preacher's wife was not.”

“Here were humans bound across centuries by the faith-based belief that these birds were worth preserving . That they might help future generations, trusting that the march of scientific progress would forever present new ways of looking at the same ancient skins. In the other current ran Edwin and the feather underground, and the centuries of men and women who looted the skies and the forests for wealth and status, driven by greed and the desire to possess what others didn't.”

“She (Alexandra Horowitz, scientific expert on dog olfaction) notes ...that many dog owners deny their animals the joys of sniffling. To a dog, a simple walk is an odyssey of olfactory exploration. But if the owner doesn't undertand that and instead sees a walk as simply a means of exercise or a route to a destination, then very sniffy act becomes an annoyance...For Horowitz, the implications are clear: Let dogs be dogs. Appreciate their their Umwelt (world) is different, and lean into that difference. She does this by taking Finn (her dog) on dedicated smell walks...If he stops, she stops. His nose sets the pace. The walks are slower.”
