Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We bought a house that was close to the water, trees, and a porch. It had ten large rooms, a farm kitchen complete with coal stove, fireplaces, and a room on the ground floor with its own private entrance and bath for our twelve-year-old daughter, Karen.

#2 We bought the house in December, and moved in the following month. The pulsing beauty of the carillon, spilled over water, rocks, trees, roof tops, and rose to melt the cold, dark stillness above.

#3 The Christmas season is full of blessings. We had our house, our children were healthy and happy, and we had received many gifts.

#4 The light of Karen’s greatest victories was quenched by failure. She was consistently denied admission to school, and her dark discouragement in the face of this defeat was heartbreaking.
