Kelly's ChanceBy Wanda E. BrunstetterDescription:Kelly McGregor's life along the Lehigh Canal has nothing in common with the beatuy that surrounds her. Forced to help her family survive by leading her father's mules as they pull boatloads of coal to the city, Kelly determines that she'll never be stuck in a loveless marriage like her parents. Her dream is to save enough money so she can escape the drudgery of home and be an artist. When a storekeeper along the canal gives Kelly an outlet for her drawings, she wonders if she may be starting to realize her dream. But as she gets to know Mike Cooper and learns about the God he worships, she begins to understand that life may offer even more than she dared to hope for. Will Kelly seize this chance for a love like she's never known, or will fear drive her away? |
