By the Light of a Thousand Stars

This book describes the impact of one family on another. It describes one woman's struggle with the loss of her daughter. What it really says is that if Christ-followers will be honest and willing to share their lives with others, God can work His good work through them. If you've read other books by Turner, you will re-connect with other characters in a small way. That's what I really like about this series - it is and it isn't. You can just pick up a book and enjoy it for itself. My own copy has been much read, but I come away encouraged every time.

Beyond the sorrow, belief awaited. Catherine had vowed long ago to be the kind of mother she'd never known herself, but somewhere along the way things became muddled. One by one her three children rebelled, leaving her outwardly perfect family in disarray. As if their household isn't disrupted enough, Catherine's strange sister-in-law moves in -- uninvited. Into the chaos steps a new neighbor, as different from Catherine as any woman could be. Catherine is both appalled and fascinated by the unique way Barb's family interprets life's trials, and she is inexplicably drawn to them. When tragedy strikes, she finds herself longing to discover the secret to their joyful, contented lives. - Back cover.
