Description
Growing up is hard enough. Why does family have to make it harder? Fourteen-year-old Juliana didn't expect to be the one looking after her grandfather, who lives with Alzheimer's. But with her parents always at work, she feels they barely have time for her, let alone Opa. Add studying for exams at her new school, and Juliana doesn't know how she can focus on her grades while also caring for Opa on her own. Conflicted, she turns to the one thing that has helped her find solace since her move: her great-grandmother's sketchbook.
Crotchety Omama has invited herself to stay with Elisabeth's family. But when Omama insists Elisabeth punish her brother by hitting him and conspires with Mammi to introduce her to her first marriage prospect, Elisabeth must decide for herself what discipline and marriage look like according to God's will. Even if that differs from her family's expectations.
With family responsibilities bearing down on Juliana and Elisabeth, the girls must learn to balance their needs with what their families and society expect of them.
The First Step is the third book in Lori Wolf-Heffner's contemporary/historical series, Between Worlds. If you love history, the arts, and family ties, pick up a copy of The First Step and enjoy a story that spans generations.
Between Worlds 3: The First Step follows Juliana and Elisabeth as they take their first steps into their new lives, except that Juliana takes her first steps today in Canada, and Elisabeth in 1920 in Romania. Having to deal with an unusually heavy study schedule at her new school and odd behaviour from Opa, Juliana is more aware than ever now how much she needs her family. If only they were there for her. Just as Elisabeth finally settles into her new role, things go haywire: school is cancelled all week for Luki and Anna, crotchety Omama suddenly shows up to stay, and a repair in the pig pen brings a potential future husband into the house.
