Sheila Seiler Lagrand’s “Remembering for
Ruth: Mitchell Meets Matthew”
Sheila
Lagrand’s serial story continues.
Pastor
Paul and Margot Goodharte live in Mitchell, California, where they care for
Paul’s mother Ruth, who has Alzheimer’s Disease. In the first installment of
this serialized novel, Lagrand set up with the story with a fall and injury for
Margot, the return of Paul’s older brother Matthew, and Matthew’s interest in
Sue, the next-door neighbor, Sue.
In
the second installment, Mitchell Meets
Matthew, new elements are introduced. Ruth keeps asking after Amelia, who
turns out to be Matthew’s estranged daughter born out of wedlock decades
earlier. A neighbor experiences a family tragedy. Matthew’s relationship with
Sue continues to grow.
We’re
beginning to see the major themes of the story emerge – reconciliation, grace, how
a serious illness can provide blessing, and a little romance.
