Brenda's Wish

BRENDA'S WISH: A True Story of Faith, Family and the Testament of Love is a unique story of Brenda Schmitz, a cancer-stricken wife and mother who, in the few precious months left, wrote a letter to a local radio station and asked a friend to deliver it when the time was right: when her husband David found a new wife to help raise their four boys.

 

Two years later after Brenda passes away, David hears the words of his late wife for the first time and receives an incredible wish from the radio station. It's an incredible display of love, loss, faith, and hope, and shows one remarkable woman's selfless acts to help her family grieve and move on after her passing.

 

Keep tissue near as you journey through the dramatic stage 4 cancer diagnosis, a mother's determined fight for her family, a community united, a husband's paralyzing grief turned resilience, and inexplicable reaffirmations of love, guardianship, and wonder from the afterlife.

 

After the emotional Christmas wish interview was picked up by the evening local news, it went viral. Days later, David had 440 media contacts from Good Morning America, The Today Show, Ellen DeGeneres, The View, countless writers, and other major networks requesting an interview. The interview currently has 4.6 million views and continues to be one of the most shared and liked stories on Facebook, especially around Christmas.

Truce Island

Jessica Blake knew about her husband’s past as a diamond smuggler before she married him. As detailed in the prequel thriller, Crystal Beach, the romance between Jessica and Jonathan has been full of danger and intrigue. Now, as the two finally wed, Jessica faces her most dangerous adventure yet—a vengeful Russian general has set his sights on the newlyweds.

 

General Alex Petrov never forgave Jonathan for helping the general’s daughter, Kira, escape an arranged marriage. The news of Kira’s death turned Petrov’s anguish into blind hatred. His wish: to teach Jonathan a lesson.

 

The adventure begins when Petrov guards kill Jonathan’s personal assistant and loyal retainer, Carl. As Jonathan tries to process the death of his friend and partner, Jessica struggles with the information Carl divulged to her right before his death—that he was an informant with the FBI. To keep Jonathan alive, Jessica may have to continue Carl’s mission and enter a deadly game of cat and mouse between the FBI, drug smugglers, and a mystery ally.

 

In this romantic thriller about diamonds, danger, and desire, Jessica Blake proves once again that she is no mere “damsel in distress.”
