Abide With Me
Delia Parr
Mills & Boon Silhouette
The three Long sisters of Welleswood, New Jersey, felt they could handle any problem, any crisis together…But suddenly, each was facing the most critical challenge of her life. Andrea, a single mom, was in a fight for survival, against cancer. Madge, who'd once lived a storybook life, needed to find forgiveness–if she ever could–for a husband who'd kept a shocking secret for years. Jenny, pregnant with her third child, longed to keep her husband's dream alive, whatever the sacrifice.To get through it all, they would have to lean on one another as never before, trusting that their love and hope–and their faith, no matter how far it was tested–would see them through.
