For a Season…..
Eleanor is an Amish newlywed who has left all her family and friends to live in her husband Vic’s farming community. Although her parents had reservations about the marriage, Eleanor was in love, and disregarded their concerns. After the first few months of marriage, tragedy strikes Vic’s family, and he feels responsible for it.
Because of that, along with the constant urging of his friend, Vic begins drinking. He really likes the way alcohol makes him feel.
Soon, he needs to drink more and more to get that feeling. When Eleanor finds out, he is very penitent, and promises to never drink again. Unfortunately, he does not quit for long, and Eleanor discovers it. Once more, Vic says he is sorry, and he will stop drinking for good this time.
As time goes on, Vic’s drinking, lying, and temper get worse. Eleanor is sure Vic is an alcoholic, and must unburden herself of it all, so writes to her friend back home for support. She also reaches out to their church bishop.
Will any of these people help her? After all Eleanor has been through with Vic, should she just call it quits, and go back to her family?
This-five-star book is honest and transparent about what alcohol can do to a person, along with the tragic results the family must deal with. If faced with this situation in real life, much of the advice Eleanor receives would be worth following.
I recommend this story to those who like real-life tales.
