Abide with Me



ISBN: 978-0373785698


Three sisters (Andrea, Madge, and Jenny) gather for special occasion's to eat breakfast together. But these occasion's are just birthdays and anniversaries. They are for the birthday of a loved one's death, or the loved one's anniversary. They get together and share 'laughing' memories of that person along with that person's favorite treat from the local bakery.
Andrea has just found out her bladder cancer is back and she doesn't want to tell her sisters. Cancer is what has taken so many of their family, including one of their sisters. Jenny is working as a nurse at the hospital so her husband can stay home and fulfill his dream of writing a novel, while watching and caring for their girls. Madge is the one who has it all together...she's in every volunteer organization and is always seen flitting about the town. Until one day when her husband shows up on a stormy afternoon with a little girl in his arms. Who is this child and what does it mean for them?
Follow these sisters as they deal with the many blows that come to us in life: love, heartache, sadness, fear, anger, grace and forgiveness. Parr has done it again...another great novel!
