Evans with Rachel Hauck | Thomas Nelson
Taking
a long road trip often means friends and fun, but not for Jade Benson, who is
traveling with her mother, Beryl, who is battling leukemia, and her
mother-in-law, June, whose husband was caught having an affair. Jade’s mother
is the real reason for the trip from Tennessee, having decided she wants to die
at home in Prairie City, Iowa.
Beryl
wasn’t much of a mother when she left Jade and her two siblings with their
grandparents, while she sowed her wild oats as a long-distance truck driver.
But that doesn’t stop Jade from wanting to be there for her—after all, Jade is
a Christian—and though she is running two boutiques and trying to start a
family with second husband Max, she wants to help.
Sadly,
Jade discovers that Max is dealing with a drug addiction and also that he had a
child with his ex-fiancée. When the child’s mother dies in a plane crash, Max
wants to take him in and raise him.
Through
it all, the women have their faith tested, but in the end they do what is right
for all involved. Fans of Sara Evans’ music or previous novel, The Sweet By
and By, are ready-made readers for this work, the second in the Songbird
series.
