Bearing Fruit: The Mother: The Grant Book Series, #4

A few months after the death of her husband, and no longer speaking to her son, Mary is called back to the church to look after a young orphan. Like Mary, Jerry McFarland has suffered great loss in his life: he lost his parents in a car accident at a young age, and now his grandmother and only family has passed away, leaving him without a caretaker.

At the urging of the new reverend, Mary agrees to take Jerry in and raise him as her own. But having Jerry around the house reminds Mary of the son she lost - and it doesn't help that he won't stop sending letters and calling home in a plea to convince his mother to speak to him.

Can Mary overcome the pain of her past and let Jerry into her heart? And can she make peace with the ghosts of the past when Christian's life becomes inescapably intertwined with young Jerry's?

Bearing Fruit is the fourth book in a four-part series about the Grant family, each focusing on a different family member as they come to peace with the sins of the father.
