An envelope lies unopened in her office. Bakery owner and mom, Mattie, is recently divorced. Her three kids don’t understand why. Running her life in the 1980’s has proven more difficult than she imagined and was about to get more complicated.
Esther, a young widow, is trying to run a farm and raise her three children alone in the early 1940’s. How could her circumstances get any worse?
Thomas, the new county sheriff, is trying to make sense of his life. How did his life turn upside down when he was trying to do the right thing?
What I liked about this book, besides its interesting plot, is the goodness of the characters throughout. Sure, there are a few (very few) dubious, selfish characters, but for the most part the author writes about the caring and kindness of mankind. It is heartwarming and made me feel good reading it as it gave me hope in humanity. Of particular interest, was the emphasis placed on a man as hero.
Although the author’s own moral values are supported by Biblical passages the truths, honor and charity of human nature at its best are universal.
This is a good pick me up book in keeping with the nature of the author’s blog where she offers words of encouragement.

You’re welcome, Jacqui. In spite of all the obstacles which the male character faces and other minor characters as well they show strength of spirit.

I am overwhelmed, honored and grateful for your review. I am glad it did what it was written to do, which is to encourage. I started it 25 years ago and let fear keep me from publishing. Finally faith overcame that fear. My prayer is that the book coveys the unconditional love and peace of God in the midst of life’s swirling circumstances. Incidentally, the book was started with the fact that my mother was adopted by someone in their 50’s. It was itself a remarkable story. Thanks again Carol.
