Saying Hello to an Old Friend

A Faithful Gathering by Leslie Gould; 2018, $15.99, 340 pages; Bethany House Publishers, Bloomington, MN; 9878-0-7642-1971-9; gift from the publisher in exchange for a review; 3/8/19-3/13/19

The Bachmann sisters, Marie, Jessica and Leisel have grown up together on a farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  We have heard the stories of Jessica and Marie in previous volumes.  In the previous volumes Aenti Suz has told stories of the Bachmann ancestors in the Revolutionary War and the Civil War and in this volume Suz tells the story of Leisel's Grandpa Joe in World War II.  Leisel is working through her decision to leave home and enter into nursing.  Some of Leisel's decisions mirror those of her Grandfather.  It is an interesting story of decision large and small and how they affect us and our families and those around us now and forever.  It is an story of relationships physical and spiritual.  

9/10
