Circle of Grace by Leslie Gould

It is fall and the kids are starting to settle into their grandparents' home helping with the chores and attending church and school. Charlotte is still worried that she will keep making the same mistakes she made with Denise, the kids mother, and Bob is having trouble with his health. Sons Pete and Bill are at odds because Pete is helping Bob with the farm and Bill wants to sell the farm as well as having them make a will declaring Bill and his wife guardians for the kids in the event that "something" happens. Emily brushes Ashley off while chumming up with newcomer Rayann (from the city), Sam puts his soccer skills to work for the football team and Christopher is curious about earthquakes and tornadoes. Another good read. Sandy Penton.
