The Dove and The Sparrow

About the Book

"1929 - The Great Depression

After being abandoned by their father, Lucille, her brothers and sister, are left with their mother, who found it impossible to support her five children on $20.00 a month from the county. Not until the school authorities reported the home situation to the Public Welfare did their lives take a turn. They were removed from their home, (a railroad bunk-car by the railroad tracks), placed in an orphanage, and their lives severed from each other forever, until the prayers of the older sister began to unfold.

THE DOVE AND THE SPARROW is a tender, understanding and sympathetic account of a child's rite of passage from her crib through the many facets of her life to retirement and beyond. Miracles, laughter, and adventure are portrayed in these true-life stories. We will also find out how the heartaches and joys she experiences on the passage are firmly anchored in her simple child-like faith.

Will you take this journey with Lucille and find the answers to your situations in life, however they may come?

THE DOVE AND THE SPARROW IS THE TRUE-LIFE TESTIMONY OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE"
