Falling Into Place

by Elaine L. Orr

Overview

War changes people. Because of it, Everett was a stay-at-home dad before it was a choice. Only his wife
Sue Ellen had a clue why he seemed to find it hard to cope. His four children, while respectful, wished he could do more than create gardens and fix breakfast.

Sue Ellen's illness meant he needed to be able to fend more for himself. It also brought his World War II
secret to light. And from the sadness grew understanding and stronger bonds.

An important story told with humor and grace.

Editorial Reviews

Elaine Orr is a magnificent writer and it shows in "Falling Into Place". It's a very gentle story about some life's most difficult moments, and the gentleness somehow makes it all ok. This is one of the best stories I've read in a very long time. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And my guess is that you will too.
