The Second Half

“A beautifully written book about how things can change in a blink of an eye and how to deal with the unexpected” from a nationalbestselling author (RT Book Reviews).Mona and Ken Sorenson are approaching the best years of their lives. Mona’s greatest concern is that Ken will learn of the surprise party she’s planning for his retirement from his job as Dean of Students at Stone University. They’ve already been making plans to travel, spend limitless hours in the garden, and Ken is looking forward to working on his woodworking and fishing with his grandchildren. It’s what they deserve after years of careful planning.Then, just days before Ken’s last official day of work, their son, a Special Forces officer in the Army, learns he’s being immediately deployed on a six-month mission in Pakistan. Since his wife left him, the only people he trusts to care for his two young children are his parents. In an instant, everything Ken and Mona spent their lives planning changes, and they will need to find strength, both physical and mental, to become parents once more. This is not the second half they wanted, and when their son fails to contact them as planned, they struggle to trust that it is God’s plan, not theirs, that matters most.Praise for Lauraine Snelling:”Snelling writes about the foibles of human nature with keen insight and sweet honesty.” ?National Church Library Association”Snelling . . . continues to draw fans with her stellar storytelling skills.” —Publishers Weekly

A small-town romance series enjoyed by fans of Debbie Macomber, Elana Johnson, and Susan Mallery. An inheritance from a mother she never knew. But can this fixer-upper mend her heart?
