Stranded with Pearls: Christian Historical Romance Novella (Get Your Kiss on Route 66) Kindle Edition

June 16, 1962 should have been the best day of Gracie MacGyver’s life. After all, it was her wedding day. But the closer she got to the altar to marry Mr. Perfect, the more she realized she was making a colossal mistake.

So she bolted, leaving friends and family stunned. Taking her dad’s precious car Betsy, she headed south or west—she didn’t really care—wherever Route 66 took her. But the day went from bad to worse.

Instead of a honeymoon in Bermuda, she spent the night in a jail cell in Pontiac, Illinois. Instead of basking on the beach with Douglas, she picked up trash alongside Route 66 to fulfill her community service hours. To make matters worse, that poor excuse of a small-town sheriff seemed to derive great pleasure from tormenting her. She couldn’t help it if she was a big-city girl.

Thrust into a world where everyone knew her business, she wasn’t sure she’d be able to adjust to a slow-paced country life while working off her punishment. Certainly, her sojourn in Pontiac was just desserts for abandoning Douglas at the altar, or was it a gateway of opportunity for deeper relationships and a new love?

Review

"This was a cute novella that gives you intrigue, excitement and a little romance.
It was nice to read about another portion of the Mother Road." Linda Rainey-Goodreads

"Instead of a honeymoon in Bermuda, Gracie MacGyver spent a night in a jail cell in Pontiac, Illinois.

Tension, suspense, and drama filled the pages of this short story.

I love these, Get Your Kiss on Route 66, stories. Great Sunday afternoonreads. Stranded with Pearls is a fun and fast read with unexpectedtwists, much like the main character.

Gracie, unsure of what she wants, finds everything going wrong when she runs from the altar.
I enjoyed this story and discovered the great writing style of Sherri Stewart." Randy Tramp-Amazon.

From the Author

Stranded with Pearls was such a fun book to research. My husband and I made a special road trip to visit the sections of Route 66 in Illinois that still exist. We also visited Pontiac, the city where the story takes place. I chose Pontiac, Illinois,because my stepfather grew up on a farm near there and brought up his daughters there. He passed away at 89 a few years ago, and I wanted to pay homage to him.We ate at the restaurant where Gracie worked. We passed the boarding house where she stayed. There's a Route 66 museum that we visited in Pontiac as well. Not a lot of the Mother Road exists, but thanks to Siri, we were able to visit at least six spots in Illinois. I hope you enjoy the book and will make a trip to the part of the route that's closest to where you live.

Sherri Stewart loves a good suspense novel, especially one that challenges her faith. She proves that it's never too late to achieve a dream. Her careers as teacher, principal, flight attendant and immigration lawyer have provided fodder for her books. She's a member of Word Weavers International, ACFW, and the California Bar. A recent widow, she lives in the Orlando area with her dog, Lily. When she's not writing or teaching, you'll find her walking the Disney parks for exercise and thinking through plot lines or planning her next trip to settings for her book.

A last minute decision leads to what appears to be the loss of her family and future or is it?.....this is a wholesome and uplifting tale of second chances in life and love.

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018

What did I dislike? Having it end. Yes, I am an unabashed fan of Sherri Stewart! Love her writing. God is always there guiding his flock I like to think. Sherri does not bang you on the head with Him but he is there none-the-less.

This young lady leaves her groom at the altar along with his family, her family and more of his. Takes off, hits a tree in her father's special car. Oh oh. Gets arrested. So, from there it should be downhill. BUT, things don't stay that way and even though there is someone wanting to do her harm. A great story of a young woman growing more wise and a nice romance to go along with it. Love, love, love Sherri's writing.
