Let's check out the Extraordinary Days Series by Polly Becks.....
GENRE: Romance/Mystery/Thriller
In the late spring of 1991, a flood
and fire of historic proportions tore through the pretty resort town of Obergrande , New York , in the central region of the Adirondack mountains .
The twin disasters destroyed a large
part of the east side of the town that bordered the Hudson River and Lake Obergrande .
In the aftermath, a new dam was
built, and that damaged part of the town “drowned,” covered by the new, larger
lake.
During that terrible flood, five
kindergarten girls were trapped in their drowning school, huddled together as
the water rose higher, rescued just in the nick of time. The nightmare bonded
them, and three others like them, to each other for life.
These are their stories.
Teaser from Book Three- Tuesday's Child: Full of Grace
For
the fourth time already that morning, a polite but urgent knock sounded on the
inner door of Grace Fuller’s small office, deep in the central hallway of the Obergrande Community Church .
Grace, a petite young woman with
ivory skin and cinnamon-brown hair styled in a neat, chin-length bob, rolled
her eyes and sighed deeply.
“Yes,
Dad?”
The
door opened partway, and Reverend Benjamin Fuller, the pastor of the church,
popped his head in, a sheepish expression on his face.
“Er,
Gracie, I’m sorry to bother you yet again, but I was hoping you might take this
next client. And thanks for all the others you’ve been gracious enough to help
me with this morning.”
Grace
sighed again. “Dad, I have my own appointment schedule today, and it’s full.” A
nervous expression came over her face. “Are you not feeling well?”
The
pastor cleared his throat.
“I’m
fine, honey. I, well, I just thought this lady’s counseling needs might be
better served by your talents.”
Grace
sat back in her chair and crossed her hands over her stomach.
“Oh,
really? I believe that you and I have done the same coursework and had the same
training in the pastoral counseling areas in the course of being ordained, Dad.
And you’ve been doing it a heck of a lot longer. What makes you think my
‘talents’ would be more useful for her than your own?”
Behind
his glasses, Pastor Fuller’s face went red to the roots of his gray hair.
“Er,
well, she says she has issues in the bedroom—and questions about them.”
Grace
snickered in spite of herself. “And? So what?”
“Come
on, Grace, don’t make me beg.”
Grace
threw her hands up in exasperation.
“Dad,
you’ve been married for thirty-one years. I would like to go on record as
assuring you that I have never had ‘bedroom issues’ because no man has ever
actually broached the sanctity of my bedroom—pretty pathetic, given that I live
with my parents and I’m turning twenty-eight next week.”
“Grace—”
“All
right,” Grace conceded, noting that her father looked much more upset than she
would have ever imagined, and not wanting him to stay in that state. His recent
heart attack had been a minor one, but worrisome enough for her to have given
up her youth pastor position in Pennsylvania to come
and help him out in Obergrande, where he had been pastor of the Community Church for thirty
years.
She
watched as her father smiled in relief and left the room via the interior door.
