Still House Pond

By Jan Watson

Description:

Lilly Gray Corbett loves living on Troublesome Creek, but she would much rather play with her best friend than watch her little brother and the twins. Her Momma, Copper, is often gone helping to birth babies, and Lilly has to stay home and help. When Aunt Alice sends a note inviting her to visit in the city, Lilly is excited to go. Copper reluctantly agrees to let her but is helping deliver a baby when Lilly leaves to meet the train and can’t take her. Later, when they hear the news that the train crashed, Copper and John rush to find out if their daughter is injured—or even alive.

Book Takeaway:

Both mother and daughter learn to rely on their faith through trying circumstances. Copper, especially, has to remember that God is good, He is in control, and He will see her through whatever she faces, even when she learns her daughter is missing.
