I really enjoyed this book

 

- and y'all know historical fiction isn't my go-to -

Who can resist a first line like this?

This one pulled me in immediately and I loved reading 

and imagining my granny in a similar situation...

Stephania McGee told the story of Lillian Doyle [who has lived with her widowed mother her entire life] learning of her father's death with compassion and love... 

 

It takes time for Lillian to learn - and accept - who her father was 

and, in doing this, she got to meet and know 

extended family she never knew she had...

A family that spoke truth to each other in love 

and didn't live their lives to impress others...

A family Lillian felt completely 'at home' with -

 

She also met Jonah and, of course, their love grew...

But there's some ups and downs - and jail time - before it's all sorted out.

I love how the story has nuggets of truth

about God's guidance in our lives.

He'll give us peace if we follow his calling...

This book has some [A LOT] of action, and mystery, and love, 

and acceptance of everyone -- with all their differences -- at the end.

And it's a book I just couldn't put down... and literally read in two seatings.

Sessions? Ha.
