A rather interesting book in a different sort of way. There was a wide range of characters each of whom faced a situation that presented an opportunity for the reader to learn from them - the wisdom of taking time to think before acting, or not jumping to conclusions, or not keeping secrets, or being honest about one’s feelings, sharing grief, etc. Some of the secrets were current, and others handed down through generations. There was the wisdom of the ages in using nature’s remedies. There was an opportunity to learn about atonement. How do you stand up for the right side when you don’t know the facts of both sides? But that all sounds so serious and it is not. There are interesting characters, humor, exploration of budding love, and a bit of mysterious happenings, and the unexpected around each corner. It will touch your heart.
