Excerpt:
Noah had come for her.
Ruth stepped toward the plane and the man standing near the doorway. She gazed at Noah, at his muscular chest, at his firm lips. The cold, remote look etched across his features signaled that his attitude about her profession hadn't changed.
Sighing, Ruth grabbed the plane's railing and pulled her tired body up the steps. At the top, she held out her hand to his waiting one. "Thanks for coming, Noah. I didn't think anyone would be able to get through in that storm."
Her fingers tingled as they remained connected with his. Without his sunglasses on, Ruth noticed his blue irises deepened to the color of the clearing sky before they darkened like the receding monsoon clouds.
Her need to soothe away his anguish intensified, but somehow she sensed that Noah wouldn't appreciate her attempt.

Watters' heartachingly poignant story is about learning to accept that, though bad things happen to good people, God's love is always steadfast and true.

And after hearing so much about Kim’s book, I just had to read it. Now, I have to say I have never read an inspirational romance before, so this was my first one. Oh gosh, I have to admit, it made me cry, but in a happy way! Who would have thought it with a book where the conflict is centered on organ donation.
From setting to characters, Kim excelled with this romance. There is the hero, a good looking pilot with a boat-load of guilt and anger, who is trying to live life in limbo. On the other hand, the heroine is very compassionate and determined to make life better for everyone, but has her own insecurities cluttering up her brain. When these two come together, the mixture is trying, uplifting, and a true picture of character growth.
The crying part? Well, it’s not about someone dying if that’s what you think, but other than telling you that, you’ll just have to read the book to figure it out. If you like children, dogs, people who care, and a happy ending, this book is for you.
Reader Letters
Dear Kim,
A divinity school friend of mine with polycystic kidney disease died in November while waiting for a transplant. A friend’s husband is currently waiting for a kidney. So I was interested in how you would work the whole issue of organ donation in a book where HEAs are required. Only a person who has had personal experience could write such an engaging yet informative tale. My hope for your book is that people pick it up like I did because it is a different sort of romance story and then become informed. As a former church worker, chaplain and pastor, I also appreciated the struggles Noah went through and how you resolved his faith issues.
Looking forward to reading future works of yours, writing blessings to you,

Kim,
I recently read this book and enjoyed it because it involves a subject in which I am very interested . When my husband died in 2002, our children and I chose to donate his corneas, bone, skin and tissues because we felt it was the right thing to do. I look forward to more books from you.

Hi Kim,
I just finished reading your book, "On Wings of Love". It gave me a different perspective of thinking about the transplant issue and how it may be for the donors. I hope you write more books about this and other related subjects from different angles to better help the public see how we can reach out and help others even in death.
Kudos to you!!!

"Kim, I just finished reading your book "On Wings of Love". I took a special interest in the story as Christmas Eve, 1977, my dad died in a car accident. (He was taken off the machine the Wednesday following and we had his kidneys donated). One person was given another chance of life & they used one for research. I also have a friend who after almost 4 yrs of no kidneys, finally got his transplant last spring. It is always hard to realize that someone had to die in order for someone else to live. Thanks for your book. I think that it may help those who do not understand the importance of donating organs. God bless."
