Book Reviews of Grace Will Lead Me Home: A Novel
Book Review: With faith, anything is possible-great story!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book begins with the final repairs to the Congregational Church that had been burned down by the Galligan twins in the previous novel. St. Cecilia's reaches out in many ways until the final work is all done.
Stephen Richter incarcerated for 8 years as an accessory to manslaughter was being released from prison. Father Casio called on Father James to see if he felt that Stephen could move in there to make a new start in life. Stephen was a very talented artist and had ambitions of pursuing that field. Father James welcomed him into his home and found Stephen a job right away helping Chester in his business.
Valerie Killbourne and her two twin daughters were new to Dorsetville. Linda and Leah both came down with an eye disease where their vision was rapidly deteriorating. They would both go blind eventually if they did not have the surgery to correct it which was over 100,00 each. Valerie who had no health insurance, was at a total loss of what to do. As she tells Father James her problem, he has the church come up with a plan to raise all the money needed for the surgery.
Lori Peterson is expecting a baby which she thought they could never have again due to her husband's recent cancer that had been cured. But as time moves on, it is a sad story as the pregnancy progresses. Lori was so angry that they had to bear yet another tragedy.
Mrs. Norris feels under-appreciated and decides to quit her housekeeping job at the rectory. This throws Father James and Father Dennis in limbo not knowing what to do for a housekeeper. They try a few others who do not do the job, and Father James is at his wits end unless he can talk Mrs. Norris into coming back which may not be possible.
Deputy Bromley gets quite sick for awhile in this book with a terrible virus that is going around town. And when Hill takes over, it is always a big disaster. When Hill took the cruiser out on a call to catch some robbers, he crashes the cruiser into Sam's very old faithful Plymouth Duster. Now Sam is without a car, as well as the people who depend on the car as well to haul them every place. So prayers are in order to find Sam a new vehicle.
The book is very hard to put down and I loved every minute of it. I am now looking forward to the next one A Wing and a Prayer.
Summary of Grace Will Lead Me Home: A Novel
The small New England town of Dorsetville is filled with quirky, loveable characters much like those who populated Andy Griffith?s Mayberry.
Dorsetville is all aflutter. The housekeeper at St. Cecilia?s rectory, Mrs. Norris, has quit in a huff, and the rectory is beginning to look like a college dorm. Father Dennis could lend a hand, but since his cooking show, The Fat Friar, has gained popularity, he?s become, well, moody.
Nellie Anderson and Harry Clifford are about to tie the knot?that is if someone can find the missing wedding invitations. Bungling Deputy Hill has been left in charge since the sheriff is sick, but will the town survive in the meantime?
Meanwhile, Father James is helping an ex-convict learn to resume his life. Valerie Kilbourne, a single mother, needs money for a very expensive operation for her twin daughters. And Lori Peterson, who has had her share of tragedies, will be asked to face another.
Katherine Valentine?s keen insights into human nature and extraordinary sense of humor make for characters you?ll want to know for years.
