Dana's Valley - Paperback

by Janette Oke (Author), Laurel Oke Logan (Author)

"I thought I had given up on God. But I didn't realize he hadn't given up on me...."

Dana's Valley cradles an average town in mid-America. The Walshes are a rather ordinary family by today's standards. But they love each other and do a lot of laughing and fun things together. Daily activities intertwine through church, school, work, and play. Faith is an integral part of their lives as a family and as individuals.

The Walsh family includes the father, David, who is a leader both at church and in the community. Angela is a full-time homemaker, and she is a wonderfully nurturing and creative mother. Brett, the oldest of the kids, is just entering high school, and sports captivates his interest and fill his time. Dana, not quite ready for junior high, is petite, pretty, and a very good student. Erin is a year younger and a bit taller. Besides being sisters, the two girls are also best friends. Little brother Corey is a delight to the whole family with his curiosity and enthusiasm.

And then, seemingly overnight, everything changes....

Each member of the family will be called on for resources and reserves of strength and character they did not know they had. And each will need to discover anew the God who is there in times of distress and in times of triumph.

Erin Walsh thinks her family is as close to perfect as a family can be. But when one grim diagnosis is all it takes to shake them to the core, she wonders if things can ever go back to the way they were. Erin's attempts to go about life as usual feel empty, and as each member of her family seems to struggle alone, she is about ready to give up on God. However, Erin has yet to learn that God will never give up on her.
