Wedding Tales, Book Two: Honeymoon Caper

Wedding Tales, Book Two: Honeymoon Caper continues the magic of the inspirational love story told in Mary Sullivan Esseff's previous book, Wedding Tales, Book One: Love's Journey. On January 29, 1966, Rebecca Butler and Khalil Khoury exchanged vows and despite the unexpected blizzard managed to get to New York and hop on a flight to Nassau the next morning. Snowed in family members continue to pass the time by sharing tales of why their ancestors emigrated to America. Wedding Tales, Book Two: Honeymoon Caper contains stories of Rebecca's German and Khalil's Lebanese ancestors who underwent religious persecution, murder, and treachery that forced them to leave their homelands. 


Wedding Tales, Book Two: Honeymoon Caper provides stories of Rebecca and Khalil’s ancestors who overcame great hardships while they displayed courage and fortitude in the face of horrific events. In the late 1800s, Rebecca’s German ancestors experience murder and attempted rape by the son of a wealthy German nobleman. Khalil’s Lebanese forbears face massacre resulting from marauding renegade soldiers during the last years of the Ottoman Empire. 


Despite how terribly they are injured, we learn how both sets of ancestors forgive those who wronged them. The ability to forgive their enemies seems almost miraculous. Is it this forgiveness that enables their ancestors’ to survive and grow as they face the inevitable hardships in their new lives in North America?
