I read Michael's Gentle Wife slowly and savored it. Within a chapter or two, I felt like I was visiting dear friends when I opened the pages. The Weavers live just outside a little town called Appleton. Friends and neighbors play a central part in their lives as does the church.
They live in Blackberry Inn which they run with a widow named Emma who is the perfect grandma figure for the three young children. Guests come and go and add to the storyline.
Chapter after chapter we witness a family who truly loves the LORD and is seeking to serve him and honor him. It was a calming, relaxing read. The scenes brought back happy memories of my youth. The way the gospel and discipleship were woven in gave meaning and purpose to the novel.
Supper was be a bit late tonight. I just had to keep reading! I just finished the last page. Mrs. Andreola left me laughing and happy.
I highly recommend this true love novel.
Be blessed!

P.S. Mr. and Mrs. Andreola are the couple who brought Charlotte Mason's writings and methods to the United States.

I do not think I have ever heard of this author...or this book but I would love to be able to find it. I will check my library but I don't hold out much hope there. Thanks for the review. Hope you are doing well -
