About Lavishing Love
The Lavishing Love Family
Lavishing Love is a beautiful love song posing as short stories that tug at heartstrings. It is filled with light-hearted tales—some of which are true—that remind us of the delight of meeting someone new; celebrate marriage from proposals to stunning celebrations; and explore the complexities of families seeking harmony and fulfillment. The Lavishing Love family invites you to peek into their lives as they meet, marry, manage mishaps, and learn to trust and forgive.
- In “Missed Kisses" Lorraine can’t get over her husband’s decision to spend Valentine’s Day away from her.
- You’ll enjoy a sneak peek into diverse celebrations in “Mixed Marriage,” where a couple operates a popular event planning agency. Spending so much time together works their nerves, strains their marriage, and there’s nowhere to hide the baggage each brought into the relationship.
- In “Mall Walkers" you will find out whether the Randolphs made the right decision to conceal their tragedy from everyone, including their adopted daughter.
- “Love Tribe” celebrates people who help us thrive, demonstrating God’s unyielding love.
- Readers are immersed in the lives of Lavishing Love characters and experience a range of emotions: sadness when they lose, and happiness when they overcome loneliness and self-doubt.
