Lese-Probe zu „Vision in White “
PROLOGUEBy the time she was eight, Mackensie Elliot had beenmarried fourteen times. She d married each of her three bestfriends as both bride and groom her best friend s brother(under his protest), two dogs, three cats, and a rabbit.She d served at countless other weddings as maid of honor,bridesmaid, groomsman, best man, and officiant.Though the dissolutions were invariably amicable, none ofthe marriages lasted beyond an afternoon. The transitory aspectof marriage came as no surprise to Mac, as her own parentsboasted two each so far.
Wedding Day wasn t her favorite game, but she kind of likedbeing the priest or the reverend or the justice of the peace. Or,after attending her father s second wife s nephew s bar mitzvah,the rabbi.
Plus, she enjoyed the cupcakes or fancy cookies and fizzylemonade always served at the reception.
It was Parker s favorite game, and Wedding Day always took place on the Brown Estate, with its expansive gardens, prettygroves, and silvery pond. In the cold Connecticut winters, theceremony might take place in front of one of the roaring firesinside the big house.
They had simple weddings and elaborate affairs. Royal weddings,star- crossed elopements, circus themes, and pirate ships.All ideas were seriously considered and voted upon, and notheme or costume too outrageous.
Still, with fourteen marriages under her belt, Mac grew a bitweary of Wedding Day.
Until she experienced her seminal moment.
For her eighth birthday Mackensie s charming and mostlyabsent father sent her a Nikon camera. She d never expressedany interest in photography, and initially pushed it away withthe other odd gifts he d given or sent since the divorce. ButMac s mother told her mother, and Grandma muttered and complainedabout feckless, useless Geoffrey Elliot and the inappropriategift of an adult camera for a young girl who d be betteroff with a Barbie doll.

As she habitually disagreed with her grandmother on principle,Mac s interest in the camera piqued. To annoy Grandma who was visiting for the summer instead of being in herretirement community in Scottsdale, where Mac strongly believedshe belonged Mac hauled the Nikon around with her.She toyed with it, experimented. She took pictures of her room,of her feet, of her friends. Shots that were blurry and dark, orfuzzy and washed out. With her lack of success, and her mother simpending divorce from her stepfather, Mac s interest in theNikon began to wane. Even years later she couldn t say whatprompted her to bring it along to Parker s that pretty summerafternoon for Wedding Day.
Every detail of the traditional garden wedding had beenplanned. Emmaline as the bride and Laurel as groom would exchangetheir vows beneath the rose arbor. Emma would wear the lace veil and train Parker s mother had made out of an oldtablecloth, while Harold, Parker s aging and affable goldenretriever walked her down the garden path to give her away.A selection of Barbies, Kens, and Cabbage Patch Kids, alongwith a variety of stuffed animals lined the path as guests.
It s a very private ceremony, Parker relayed as she fussedwith Emma s veil. With a small patio reception to follow.Now, where s the best man?
Laurel, her knee recently skinned, shoved through a trio ofhydrangeas. He ran away, and went up a tree after a squirrel.I can t get him to come down.
Parker rolled her eyes. I ll get him. You re not supposed tosee the bride before the wedding. It s bad luck. Mac, you need tofix Emma s veil and get her bouquet. Laurel and I ll get Mr. Fish out of the tree. I d rather go swimming, Mac said as she gave Emma s veilan absent tug.

Autoren-Porträt von Nora Roberts
Autoren-Porträt von Nora RobertsNora Roberts ist die derzeit wahrscheinlich erfolgreichste Liebesroman-Autorin – weltweit. Geboren wurde sie als jüngste von fünf Kindern in Silver Spring Maryland und besuchte zeitweise eine katholische Schule. Sie heiratete früh und arbeitete – nach eigenen Angaben eher erfolglos – einige Zeit als Sekretärin. Nach der Geburt ihrer zwei Söhne wurde sie Hausfrau. Der Legende nach brachte sie ein Schneesturm zum Schreiben: Sie war mit ihren Söhnen eingeschlossen, die Schokoladenvorräte gingen zu Ende und sie erfand, damit es nicht langweilig würde, kleine Geschichten, die sie später aufschrieb. Zwei Jahre später, 1981, erschien ihr erster Buch. Seitdem ging es steil bergauf. Roberts schrieb dutzende Liebesromane, die sich weltweit millionenfach verkaufen. Auf die Frage, weshalb sie gerade Beziehungsromane schreibe, sagt sie: „Für mich sind Beziehungen, Emotionen und der Sturm der Gefühle, wenn man sich verliebt, einfach faszinierend.“ Etwas pragmatischer meinte sie bei anderer Gelegenheit, dass sie immer Männer um sich herum hatte: die vier älteren Brüder, Ehemann, zwei Söhne. Sie hatte also nur die Wahl: versuchen, sie zu verstehen oder durchdrehen...
Inzwischen lebt Nora Roberts mit ihrem zweiten Mann auf einem malerischen Hügel im Westen von Maryland. Ihr Mann ist Tischler und sollte ursprünglich Bücherregale im Haus einbauen. „Er kam und ging einfach nicht mehr“, wie Nora Roberts es beschreibt. Er hat dafür gesorgt, dass das Haus nun auch ein drittes Geschoss und ein eigenes Schwimmbad hat.
Nora Roberts arbeitet 6-8 Stunden täglich an ihren Büchern, steht in E-Mail-Kontakt mit den vielen Fans und entspannt abends am liebsten mit einem guten Buch oder vor dem Fernseher. Manchmal bleibt ihr sogar etwas Zeit für den großen
