I just finished reading Whispers in the Valley, Book two in the four book series entitled The Gentle Hills by Lance Wubbels. I posted about the first book in this series a few weeks back. This was another great Christian story about family and priorities in a world torn apart by World War II. Jerry is home on leave from the Navy visiting his wife and newborn baby girl. His father is having some health problems and cannot take care of the farm on his own like he used to. Jerry applies for a special discharge from the Navy and while he is waiting for word to come of the decision, he gets about living life and enjoying his family. Jerry becomes the local town hero when word of his heroism during combat gets around. And it gets even better when the soldier Jerry is rumored to have saved the life of shows up talking about the man who saved him from a burning ship.
The Macmillan family is trying their best to get back into a daily routine when a Benjamin, Jerry’s father, suffers a tragic accident and Margie, Jerry’s wife, has to deal with her brother’s drinking problem. This book is a great story of love and forgiveness as well as focusing on what counts and not letting time pass you by. I would recommend this series to anyone that wanted a good read that deposits little words of wisdom as you read along.
