A Flicker of Light by Katie Powner

 

This is a beautiful novel showing the relationships and loves of four generations of a family.  The setting is Montana ranch / farm country. Bea and her husband of one year come to stay with her dad, Mitch, a widower, when they suddenly find themselves expecting a child and without jobs.  They plan to stay only 3 months to get back on their feet but life happens.  Mitch's mother, June, is suffering from memory problems and bouts of confusion.  Rand, Mitch's father, is having difficulty taking care of his wife's medical issues.  The family is sweet and loving and interesting from the beginning of the book to the end.  Sometimes they are at odds with each other but no one can deny how much they love each other. Their Christian faith also comes into play.  The way they resolve the issues and their love of "home" is endearing.  

Please read this book.  It's worth putting at the top of your "to read" list.  

I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
