Sure, Johnny Von is a real life movie star on the rise,
but that's no reason to think he won't fall in love with Estella?
Right?
I'm mean, she's nice, and genuine, and probably pretty enough. After all, this could be what the universe has been planning for her, placing her on the quiet, light dappled street where he lives, walking dogs in the Hollywood Hills. This could be why, at 33, she is still single, why the International Playboy wasn't the 'one!' The universe has been saving her for THIS!
The only hitch is that in order to fall in love, Estella will have to talk to Johnny Von. It's going to be a problem. And not just a logistics problem, being that she is a dog walker with tendencies towards shyness and he is a big, beautiful movie star. Creating a meeting is one thing, but actually opening her mouth to speak to him is going to be an Everest of a challenge for Estella!
If only he were someone like, say, Johnny Von the Priest, battling his faith in 1574 in love with a young orphaned Estella, or Johnny Von the Bossman in 1901 and Estella was a young girl running the plantation, all on her own. Yep. That would be easier. If it was 1592 and he was a Venetian Silk Trader and she was a famous courtesan! She would really have confidence then. Or 2574, and Johnny Von the Scientist is about to save the world by solving Xbox 6000!
So, maybe Estella doesn't have a network of supportive girl friends to bolster her confidence, but she has the dogs. She has Moochie. And, she is about to learn that sometimes that's all you need, the love of a good dog and a little imagination...to get you where you need to be; to get you home to the big love that's meant to be yours.
'Encia, a tiny mistreated orphan, marches away from Balatunong at age five. Six months and over fifty miles later she looks longingly at the happy children and workers about the mansion where Lydia lives and manages her plantation, and says to herself, "I would like to live there."
Lydia, still unmarried, often prayed that she might care for her dead beloved Florencia's child, whom she had only heard might be, opens her heart and home to 'Encia.
Under the hand of the Ultimate Survivor 'Encia fulfills a prediction that she will marry a foreigner an travel to other lands, there to personally meet her Divine Father whom she so longs to know.
The Cagayan River Valley of Luzon, Philippines is the setting for a true story of divine superintendence over a life of directed wandering during peace, WW2, and international travel. She places her budding faith in the Unknown God, whom she determines to know, and 'Encia unwittingly receives the guidance and direction she needs, thus fulfilling in these times God's promise in Psalm 27:10, "When my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up."
This modern autodrama with simple reality, speaks healing words of hidden wisdom for the seeker, hope for the hopeless, encouraging strength for the wavering, a vision of destiny for the wanderer, and balm for the abused. Cheerful optimism and sometimes humorous episodes charm and intrigue the reader.
Florencia C. Miller and Henry T. Miller, Jr. live in Webster, NY. They manage ELDRA Publications, and their affairs of family, church, and home. Henry is a retired BSEE, techincal writer, and do-it-all craftsman while Florencia manages their social affairs and their home.
