The Telling by Beverly Lewis

Grace Byler and an unlikely companion, Englischer Heather Nelson, are in search of Lettie Byler, Grace's mother. Lettie has been gone for several weeks on a searching mission of her own, leaving her family worried and confused. When Grace arrives in Kidron, Ohio only to find her mother left the day before, she and Heather return home. The secret Lettie has kept all these years (Lettie's parents, also) is about to be exposed to all the members of her church as she needs to confess sins from her youth. What is the secret? How will her family and the church receive this revelation? Will she be shunned? Will she be forgiven? How does Heather Nelson figure in all this? Lewis ties up all the loose ends in this the third of the series, and a good job of it I must say. A good read. Sandy Penton
