From going to war in France during WW1, to letting the memories of his past, his father's disapproval of him almost ruin his marriage. Can a little girl left alone on a church doorstep find an Angel? Even Nadine the woman who Victor married had troubles with her preacher father. If you believe there are angels among us you will enjoy this story of faith,This book had a slow start but got better the further I read. I found the end of the story a bit predictable.
The setting of this book is is Rosey Corner, a small town in rural Kentucky, during the Depression.Times are hard for everyone. The Depression is in full swing, food is scarce, jobs scarcer yet. Kate Merritt is the middle child of 3 daughters of Victor and Nadine. She is mature for her age, and tries her very best to keep the family intact, despite a father rushing towards alcoholism whose business is slowly going into ruin due to the Depression. One day, Kate finds a dirty little girl named
This was a delightful story with very likeable and unlikable characters, flaws and all. There were so real to me. I loved how they worked through their problems and turned to God for strength. The story centers around Victor and Nadine Merritt and their middle daughter, Kate. Victor is a veteran from World War One and struggles with PSTD and alcoholism. Kate is the responsible child and shoulders much emotional responsibility. Victor and Nadine have never been able to please the demands of their
parents, Victor and Nadine had let their fathers' expectation, rule so much of their lives. Kate, Lorena, Fern and Graham were very caring characters in this book. Victors' bad habit was involved too much in the book; but, overall the end of the story was full of suspense. "The strong find a way to keep standing. No matter what happens."
I need to move this to my need to finish list, because I can't go on reading it right now. And honestly, I could end up moving it to my newly created DNF shelf. Some people might find this book enjoyable. But not me, at least not at this current time. I was becoming so bored while reading it, I found myself drifting off and wanting to do other things. So for now I'm DNFing this book. I really don't like not finishing a book, in fact I have made myself finish many books over the years that I have
