A Thief In The Night, By LaJoyce Martin

That is the advice from her father that echoes back to Cammie Austen over a four-year chasm that separates her world from his.

Now she has chosen: Argus Bristow, a neighbor whom she has known for a decade. After all, she is twenty-six and ready to settle down.

But why is this insistent doubt? Something is amiss, something she can't put her finger on. She must go away to think. And pray. While on her heart-searching journey, she meets a lonely man and his pesky parrot-a man who claims to be a "thief in the night." What will she do with this additional enigma?
