    About this ebook

    Jenna and Keira Jones come from what they've always thought of as the 'perfect family', but lately it seems like everything is falling apart. When their older sister Blake goes away to college, the girls' lives seem to dissolve into one wrong turn after another. Jenna's faith is put to the test when the family's new foster daughter, Alyssa, takes an instant dislike to her, but the girls are about to learn that sometimes it's easier to weather the storm together-and that above all, a little faith goes a long way.

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      Sep 6, 2022

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.
