Who is Michael’s gentle wife?
You see her on the cover giving Baby a kiss. She’s Carol, and Michael Weaver adores her.
It’s 1937. Unique to Christian fiction, marriage and motherhood take the spotlight. Carol is the main character. She and Michael are two imperfect people, married 12 years. Through episodes of tenderness, patience, joy, and conversational sweet humor, you’ll find that they share a deeper love than that of a courting couple.
What’s their secret?
Carol and Michael have a mature faith in Christ. Their love fills the house and spirals outward with a roll-up-your-sleeves compassion for others.
“How can I bless readers?” guided every hour the author spent at her desk—or at the kitchen sink—dreaming up this one-of-a-kind, full-length novel. She took on the challenge to show what an educational life looks like. The Weavers are a bookish family. They have no convenient curriculum to follow. Even so, home-style learning feels right to them. In soft strokes, the author blends into the action (and plot surprises) a sampling of:
- family worship/fellowship,
- good books/poetry/music/art,
- manners/chores/crafts,
- nature, play.
Yes, Carol and Michael are busy bringing up their children: Donald (10), Emily (8), and Baby Eliot (born in January). In chapter one it’s March, the close of a long, cold New England winter with tired Carol up at night, caring for her hungry, crying newborn. Snow is melting and the woods ring with robin songs. Life, however, isn’t all tea and roses. When trouble knocks on the door, the Weavers handle it with needed grace.
No edge-of-your-seat torments propel these pages. Here is a writing style of literary refreshment—a Mother Culture® comfort read—with characters you'd be happy to call friends. The aim of author Karen Andreola’s pen is to inspire as well as entertain, to allow a reader to hear herself think. May they be lovely thoughts that linger.
Karen’s writing motto is a line by minister JC Ryle. “Resolve that, by the grace of God, you will make Christianity beautiful in the eyes of the world.” Psalm 29:2
