Even So

A novel that explores the challenge and necessity of loving difficult people. Angela Morrison has it all. She's married to a wealthy man, adores her son, grows orchids, and volunteers at Our Daily Bread Food Pantry. What more could she want? More — much more. And she's willing to risk everything after meeting Carsten, the landscaper with the glacier-blue eyes. Sister Eileen, who runs Our Daily Bread Food Pantry, struggles with the silence of God and harbours a secret she believes is unforgivable. She yearns to convince Angela she is loved by God, despite her selfishness and destructive behaviour, but in order for that to be authentic Eileen must learn to love her first, and that's no easy task — especially after Angela causes a terrible tragedy. Through the crucible of their relationship, Angela and Eileen discover how caring for the most difficult among us and practising forgiveness, no matter how painful, opens a door to the miracle of transformation. "A novel that explores the challenge and necessity of loving difficult people. Angela Morrison has it all. She's married to a wealthy man, adores her son, grows orchids, and volunteers at Our Daily Bread Food Pantry. What more could she want? More. Much more. And she's willing to risk everything after meeting Carsten, the landscaper with the glacier-blue eyes. Sister Eileen, who runs the Our Daily Bread Food Pantry, tries her best to "love the dear neighbour, without distinction," but struggles with a silent God. If she is to convince Angela that she's loved by God, she must first learn to love Angela, and that's no easy task, especially after Angela causes a terrible tragedy. Even So explores what it means to love others -- even the selfish, the careless, and those who not only are harmed by others, but who also do harm."-- Provided by publisher
