Based On Real Events It's the mid 1980s—a time of leg warmers and Walkmans, a period when technology was starting to take shape, yet tradition still had its strong foundations. The world was an expanse of contrasts, nowhere more so than in the lives of two young individuals: one from the sunburned expanses of Barmera, a quaint town in South Australia's Riverland; and the other from the bustling, neon-lit streets of Tokyo, Japan. Two lives, impossibly different, each characterised by their own forms of simplicity and complexity, familiarity and strangeness. And yet, destiny has a way of weaving tales from the most unlikely threads. Their worlds were destined to collide, challenging their views on love, culture, and what it means to truly be with someone. This is a tale of love, destined to be together by chance, but challenged by the vast distance between them and their immensely different backgrounds. As you turn the pages, you will walk with them through the sunsets of Australia and the neon nights of Tokyo. You'll share their joys, struggles, triumphs, and setbacks. And you'll witness how two individuals separated by geography and culture are united in their search for love and meaning amidst life's unpredictability. Two souls, separated by boundless oceans and contrasting worlds, bound together by a love that defies all odds. Will fate be the force that keeps them apart or the bridge that brings them together? In a world marked by differences they'll find that the language of love is universal—even if it speaks in diverse dialects.

However, names and other identifying details have been changed to protect the privacy and anonymity of the individuals involved. While the story aims to reflect the emotional truth of the events it depicts, it should be noted that some liberties have been taken with the timeline, events, and conversations for the sake of narrative coherence.
2014 Christy Award winner! Darek Christiansen is almost a dream bachelor—oldest son in the large Christiansen clan, heir to their historic Evergreen Lake Resort, and doting father. But he’s also wounded and angry since the tragic death of his wife, Felicity. No woman in Deep Haven dares come near. New assistant county attorney Ivy Madison simply doesn’t know any better when she bids on Darek at the charity auction. Nor does she know that when she crafted a plea bargain three years ago to keep Jensen Atwood out of jail and in Deep Haven fulfilling community service, she was releasing the man responsible for Felicity’s death. All Ivy knows is that the Christiansens feel like the family she’s always longed for. And once she gets past Darek’s tough exterior, she finds a man she could spend the rest of her life with. Which scares her almost as much as Darek learning of her involvement in his wife’s case. Caught between new love and old grudges, Darek must decide if he can set aside the past for a future with Ivy—a future more and more at risk as an approaching wildfire threatens to wipe out the Christiansen resort and Deep Haven itself.

True Love Waits promotes saving sex for marriage after a courtship long enough to get to know your potential partner on all levels of a relationship: intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. The author’s social conservativism is not based on any religious teachings. Rather, it is based on achieving a holistic intimacy with your boyfriend or girlfriend before becoming physically intimate. The book describes the author’s journey from the hippie days of free love to a conservative philosophy of waiting for marriage. The author’s transformation is a direct result of growing up in the 1950s and her teenage years in the late 1960s as well as her raising six children over the course of forty years.
