Pearls on the Wedding Dress

Ben, a young Kansas wheat farmer, made a promise at the gravesite of his younger brother Jeff. He would find the reason for a family secret, one that had caused his father’s countenance to be one of shame when his grandfather’s name was mentioned. His searching is put on hold when he meets Sarah, the daughter of a small town pastor. Ben and Sarah marry and have one daughter, Suzanne. Ben’s older brother Tim, whom he hasn’t seen for many years, comes for a brief visit. He has discovered the reason for the shameful secret. One mystery is solved but a larger one is looming for Ben and Sarah. Their teenage daughter leaves home. They lose contact. Their faith is put to the test. Ben never wavers in his faith but Sarah struggles. She felt she could never love another child like she had her own but found that love has a way of bringing answers to troubling questions.Thompson, Betty is the author of 'Pearls on the Wedding Dress' with ISBN 9781424139750 and ISBN 1424139759.
