Beschreibung
What happens when a woman's fast-paced life is brought to a screeching halt and stillness is the last thing she's looking for. Adelle Reece's carefully controlled life unravels when her involvement in a college admissions scandal results in a year of house arrest at The Olive Branch, a subsistence farm and rehabilitation center tucked into the rolling hills of Wisconsin's Driftless region. Estranged from her daughter and stripped of everything familiar, Adelle finds herself struggling to adapt to the opposites forced upon her. Her guardian, Olive, exudes peace and serenity, yet Adelle suspects that she's hiding something. Then there's Olive's son, a young man who defies everything Adelle thought she knew about Down syndrome. Adelle resists the intentionally slower pace, the rolling hills that somehow irk her, and the faith that permeates the air at The Olive Branch. But as she's seen, embraced, and forgiven, Adelle reluctantly begins to discover that a different way of living might be exactly what she's needed. Under a Driftless Sky. is a thoughtful, spiritually rich novel that invites us to consider how God meets us in the mundane, and how we can learn to notice his presence while still on our way to wholeness.
