Hearts of the Children, vol. 5: So Much of Life Ahead

For Gene Thomas, Vietnam doesn’t seem to be going away. All those scenes of his dying companions are stuck in his head, and his anger is taking a real toll on his family. Kathy, on the other hand, finally seems to have come to terms with life, but she’s having a hard time finding a man she’d want to marry. And Marshall, the only man she’s ever really loved, is engaged. Diane, back in school, is making it on her own, but her abusive ex-husband, Greg, is working hard to win her back. Is it possible he’s actually changed? Hans, still in East Germany, would love to marry Elli, but his job pays so little that he sees no way to support her. To make things worse, the Stasi agents are asking him questions again. Why can’t they leave him alone? In this concluding volume of Hearts of the Children, we come full circle to bid good-bye to the Thomas family. The characters we met in Children of the Promise, and their posterity in this sequel series, have filled our hearts for years. As four young cousins Gene, Kathy, Diane, and Hans find their own paths in life, they are propelled forward by their strong heritage and the power of faith. Hearts of the Children honestly portrays the explosive problems of the sixties and early seventies, but this concluding volume offers the hope that families can hold together and that good people, with the resources the Lord offers, can not only survive but prosper.
