Excerpt 1 from Journey of Promise:
Her heart thudded in her chest as she turned and walked up the gangway. Richard paused and looked
back to say something to the Saints, but she didn’t stop to listen,
making her way onto the ship. She stood on the deck of the steamer as
the autumn breezes blew cool and damp off Cardiff Bay. Her heart knotted
as she looked out over the pier, hoping against hope that her mother
might come to say good-bye. I don’t want to leave . . . I can’t . . . this is home . . .
She
pressed her lips together and choked back tears as her eyes scanned the
fringes of her native village. Her gaze rose to the hills, still green,
to the sky awash in clouds, then down to the surging bay. The smell of
briny water filled her nostrils and the call of seabirds cried overhead.
Leah closed her eyes, attempting to etch the pictures in her mind, and
called upon her memory to remember Wales and never forget.
Richard slid his arm around Leah’s shoulders. “ ’Tis hard, I know,” he said as if he could read her mind.
His
touch gave her a sense of reassurance. She could feel his strength
lending itself to her, lifting and carrying her beyond doubt. Richard
kissed her temple and held her as the ropes were loosed from the
moorings. She turned to him, her eyes burning into his. “Let me look at
you, Richard.Let me look to you and our future. I cannot bear to watch
us leave . . .”
