Mary's Blessing

By Lena Nelson Dooley

Description:

Mary Lenora Caine knows she is adopted. As she was growing up, her mother called her “God’s blessing.” But now that she’s gone, Mary no longer feels like any kind of blessing. Her father, in his grief, has cut himself off from the family, leaving the running of the home entirely in Mary’s hands.


As she nears her eighteenth birthday, Mary can’t see anything in her future but drudgery. Then her childhood friend Daniel begins to court her, promising her a life of riches and ease. But her fairy-tale dreams turn to dust when her family becomes too much for Daniel, and he abandons her in her time of deepest need.


Will Daniel come to grips with God’s plan for him? And if he does return, can Mary trust that this time he will really follow through?

Why the author wrote this book:

The stories of identical triplets born on one of the last wagon trains on the Oregon Trail had percolated in my mind for several years. These stories had to be told.
