What You Put into Life….
What can he do with himself? Gerrit, grouchy and old, has devoted his life to his farm, while ignoring his wife and children. Suddenly the farm is gone. He is stunned that his adult children barely speak to him, and his wife is ready to walk out.
Fifteen-year-old Rae has “The Plan,” a rigid schedule of classes and extra circular activities her father designed so she can be accepted into Columbia Law School. But “The Plan” is getting hard to follow.
Through a surprising variety of events, such as a kids at risk program and television cooking shows, this story will wind its way around your heart. As both characters find themselves in new, occasionally, uncomfortable situations, they do unexpected things—some humorous, some dangerous–as they try to cope with family dynamics and expectations.
Rae and Gerrit, an unlikely pair, meet when both are at turning points in their lives, will they continue on the same path? Or will they plant seeds of change that will bring a new harvest?
I loved this story, especially the thought of a clueless, rough, gruff curmudgeon becoming addicted to cooking. This clean narrative can change from playful to serious in an instant, without losing the heart of the tale, while continuing to increase the reader’s interest with every word. Told from a Christian point of view, I highly recommend this five-plus star book to mature teens and up–you do not want to miss this one!
