Excerpt
Excerpt
The last two weeks had been difficult, but Jillian was getting stronger and all her tests had come back clear. Life was looking up. Morgan smiled, sauntering toward the nurse’s station. When he didn’t see anyone there, he went in the direction of the nurse’s lounge. He started to stick his head in the doorway when he heard the nurses talking.
“It’s so hard to keep a smile on my face as if nothing were wrong. She’s so beautiful.”
“Yes, and to think how I envied her fine blonde hair and fair skin,” a second voice added.
“But I sure don’t envy her now.” Another voice offered.
The first woman spoke again. ” It’s so unfair. If only the outcome could be different.” She let out a loud sigh.
“Yes, she’s going to die and there’s nothing, anyone can do to save her.” He recognized Nurse Thompson’s voice. “So sad.”
Morgan grabbed his chest as he backed away from the room. His heart raced. Sweat beaded his forehead and his collar tightened against his throat. No, it couldn’t be. His beautiful Jilly wasn’t going to die. Hearing the words he’d been dreading spoken out loud, tore at his heart. He couldn’t breathe. He had to get away. God help him. He couldn’t stay and watch her die.

Jill and Morgan had been married for five years and valued their commitment to each other as if it was written in stone. Then Jill found out she had breast cancer and had to have her breast removed. They had tried to have a baby, but this set-back could eliminate that possibility for good. When Jill finally told Morgan about her surgery, it was only 2 days prior to the operation. Morgan refused to leave her side until the day before she was to come home. He heard some nurses talking about her in the break room and stating that it was so bad that she was going to die.
Morgan had a past that Jill knew nothing about. His mother died of breast cancer. He could not stand around and watch someone else he loved die. As an Air Force Captain in World War II, he disappeared and went on a mission in Germany with his Unit. His best friend was going and his commanding officer was surprised that he decided to deploy. Captain Morgan Chandler was one of their best pilots. Of course, he was needed.
October is Breast Cancer Month and this book is about a woman who fights breast cancer. I assumed the book would be extremely emotional and hard to read, but it was not. The storyline dealt more with the commitment between a man and a woman, with a true belief of God. There was some sentiment which became even more passionate when this scared man disappeared without a word just as Jill needed him most.
The intrigue of the storyline was that of finding a rock to lean upon through faith in God. Not only did she learn to lean on her relationship with Him but she also learned how to forgive her husband even before he returned to the States.
This is a great look at not only a breast cancer survivor but also a couple whose commitment to each other through their faith grew stronger. It is an easy read and one I highly recommend.

Coffee Time Romance
FOUR CUP REVIEW!!!!
I found When the Vow Breaks to be a heart-tugging read. Morgan is a loving and dutiful husband, who really will do anything for Jilly. Still, he is human, and when pressed with the worst kind of heartbreak, he shows his vulnerable side and wishes to find an escape. Judith Leigh creates two beautiful souls devoted to each other and pulls them into a story of struggle, devotion, and the deep meaning of love. One cannot help but feel drawn to the characters in this tender read. Uplifting and inspirational, this story allows sensations to run high in this motivating read. I found this a story to which many will be able to relate.
