Inspirational

Bjorn Johnston surprises his wife, Keira, with tickets to Norway. She has always wanted to visit her Scandinavian roots. As she is looking at her mom's place for her birth certificate so that she can apply for her passport to go to Norway, she discovers that it reads: "father unknown." All her life she has believed that Kenneth Sorenson was her father. Her mom was the most honest person she knew. Why didn't she tell her? It's too late to find out now, as her mom passed away just a few months ago.

Keira's sister-in-law, Leah, is with her when she makes this discovery. She and Leah are working on getting the old home place ready for the Sorenson family reunion coming up in just another month. Leah promises not to tell Marcus, her husband and Keira's brother, but she tells Keira not to wait too long. Secrets are hard to keep.

Leah and Marcus are preparing for their youngest child and only daughter's high school graduation in a few days. She is salutatorian of her class and will be off to college soon. It's a busy time of year, and Marcus has so many things going on at the church he is pastoring. When Kirsten comes in and drops a bomb on them, they are both devastated. She tells them she is pregnant. How will they get through this?

Marcus' initial reaction is to close up. He does not speak to Kirsten for several days. He also decides he must resign his position as pastor of the church he so dearly loves. If he cannot control his own family, how can he pastor a church? He writes his letter of resignation and sends it to the board. Will it be accepted or rejected? It's in God's hands. Neither Leah nor Keira has mentioned to Marcus the fact the Keira is not their father's child. Can things get any worse?

REUNION is a captivating tale that will hook you from the very start. This family is struggling with some tough questions and has many decisions that need to be made. Will their faith be enough to sustain them? Knowing God loves them and putting that knowledge into practice is being tested. Will they pass the test? Fans of Christian fiction will love this touching story.
