Happily settled into family life, Virginia thinks her life is on track, but soon new challenges face her in this bestselling novel.
Her Character Has Been Shaped and Tempered by Both Adversity and
Triumph...
If Virginia could have chosen to accept or discard all the changes
that came her way, she gladly would have let most of them pass
right by herself and her family. She loved her life--living on the
farm with her beloved Jonathan and their children, not far from her
parents and her grandparents. But a change that is tearing at her
heart is the gradual but steady physical decline in Grandma Marty
and Grandpa Clark. She cannot imagine their familiar farm home
without their welcoming smiles and their words of wisdom that arise
from of decades of life experiences and a solid faith in God.
And their lovely daughter Mindy, who has blessed their home ever
since her mother left the tiny child with them, has been encouraged
and guided to pray for that mother all these years. Was God
answering that prayer, or was the worst nightmare any family could
face now upon them?
