Daybreak : days of redemption / Shelley Shepard Gray / LP.
When Viola Keim starts working at a nearby Mennonite retirement home, she strikes up an unlikely friendship with resident Atle, whose only living relative, Son Edward, is a missionary in Nicaragua. Viola understands the importance of mission work, but she can't imagine leaving her father in the hands of strangers. It's not in keeping with her Amish sensibilities. Though she doesn't know Ed, Viola judges him for abandoning his father. When Ed surprises hsi father with a visit, both Viola and Ed are surprised by the attraction they have for each other. Despite her feelings, choosing Ed would mean moving to a far off country and leaving her family behind, something she couldn't possibly do. Her twin sister, Elsie, is going blind; her family is reeling with the recent discovery that her grandmother hid her past as an Englischer; her father seems forgetful and distracted and seems to be harboring some secrets of his own. Will the demands of family ties mean that her one chance at love slips away?
