In this novella, we're following two stories. First is Christine, a wealthy woman with low self-esteem who has ideas on how to help the poor. She approaches the pastor, and they start to work together. They're going to have some obstacles thrown their way, and they begin to doubt they're doing God's will.
The other story is Elise and her two sisters, Marianne and Sophie. Their mother has just died, and they're on their own. They live with their uncle, who is more concerned with getting drunk than making sure anyone is safe. If Elise can't find a way to make more money, they'll be homeless. And with two small children also depending on her, Elise has her work cut out for her.
I really liked this novella. I appreciated the author was able to tell two stories that intertwined and eventually came together. I liked the characters and thought it was really interesting that Christine and Guy weren't as young as I usually read. They're more middle-aged and it was something I don't see often in books like this. I can't wait to read With You Always, which tells more of Elise's story. Good Novella!
