Summary

Becky rocks a baby that rocked her world. Sixty years earlier, with her fiancé, Drew, in the middle of the Korean Conflict, Ivy throws herself into her work at a nursing home to keep her sanity and provide for the child Drew doesn't know is coming. Ivy cares for Anna, an elderly patient who taxes Ivy's listening ear until the day she suspects Anna's tall tales are not the ramblings of dementia. They're fragments of Anna's disjointed memories of a remarkable life. Finding a faint thread of hope she can't resist tugging, Ivy records Anna's memoir, scribbling furiously after hours to keep up with the woman's emotion-packed, grace-hemmed stories. Is Ivy's answer buried in Anna's past? Becky, Ivy, Anna - three women fight a tangled vine of deception in search of the blossoming simplicity of truth.

Thought provoking breaking stereotypes

Challenges prejudices within societies and specifically church communities towards unmarried mothers.
Interesting historical information.
American but applicable across cultures focusing on Jesus' message and God's grace. Does not belittle the pain though

Hard work if you are atheist

Lovely story and beautifully read. I sometimes found my mind drifting off in the 1890s sections. Bit too much reference to God but that’s just personal.
