“ONE TRUE LOVE Chapter 1 Whistle Stop, Texas. May 25, 1924 I met John Fant on the worst day of my life. There he was, the most handsome man I’d ever seen, standing at the bottom of my daddy’s porch clutching a straw Panama hat in his hand, the mournful expression on his face belying the jauntiness of his double-breasted lightweight jacket and Oxford bags with sharp, smart creases running smoothly down the front of the legs. An intense, magnetic energy radiated from him, rolled toward me like... heat waves off the Chihuahuan Desert. I felt an inexplicable tug in the square center of my belly. His gaze settled heavily on my face. There were shadows under his eyes as if he’d been up all night, and there was a tightness to his lips that troubled me. A snazzy red Nash roadster sat on a patch of dirt just off the one-lane wagon road that ran in front of the house. It looked just as out of place as the magnificent man in my front yard. My knees turned watery as the mustang grape jelly I canned last summer that hadn’t set up right, and suddenly, I couldn’t catch my breath.MoreLessRead More Read Less
