Parenting Quote by Katherine Hall Page
““July.” The strawberries in Ursula’s garden at The Pines were the stuff of legend. “Thank you, no. But could you stay a bit longer?” “Until five. Tom is working at home today.” Faith didn’t offer any further explanation. After trying to write his sermon in the shadow of his file cabinets at the church yesterday, he had decided to give the parsonage study, neutral territory, a try today. “As I said, everything hinged on Father’s””
