Sadness, passion, faith, and laughter fill a home for unwed mothers.

On the twentieth anniversary of the death of Rebecca, family friend Colonel Julyan receives an anonymous parcel in the post.
This is an ALL IOWA READS selection. Unforgettable story of contemporary life in rural America.
Common Men, uncommon calling…
