Bob, a Cajun from the bayous of Louisiana, never dreamed he would ever date a girl from Central America, much less fall for one. But when he moves to New Orleans he meets Emy, a beautiful Guatemalan nurse, in a chance encounter neither thinks is important.
Written in an often humorous blend of character-revealing narrative and dialogue; "Footprints in My Heart," follows Bob and Emy from friendship to love, in spite of culture clashes that fi ll them with questions and doubt.
Among the memorable episodes on their way to the altar, the author describes: What brought them together again after he thought their first encounter was a flop. Why they were asked to leave a place while on a date. The idea Emy had that quelled her panic attack before meeting his father. And why weddings seldom go exactly as planned.
