The Tender Years

By: Janette Oke

Narrated by: Marguerite Gavin

Twenty years have passed since youngest daughter Belinda's story in Love Finds a Home. Marty and Clark's spiritual heritage has been lovingly passed on to their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. And now, beloved granddaughter Virginia faces the test of her young life. Caught in that difficult period between childhood and adulthood, feeling that she really doesn't fit anywhere, Virginia struggles against what she considers to be unreasonable restrictions and expectations.

A lively new girl arrives at school, and Jenny seems to represent everything that Virginia is longing for: her looks, her daring, her alluring freedom from constraints. But then comes the day neither girl will ever forget.

I absolutely loved this series of books.. You truly get so attached to the people in these books that you hate for the story to end. I ran the full Gambit of emotions throughout this series. I laughed out loud at times, I cried more than I care to admit... and more than once I got angry with a character in the story.. lol. Exceptionally well written and narrated. I will read these again. 👍👍
