The House on Malcolm Street
October 7th, 2010. Filed under: This & That.The House on Malcolm Street
Is it the people who surround her–or perhaps this very house–that reach into her heart with healing? As Leah finds peace tending to an abandoned garden, can she find a way to trust God with her future?
A beautifully simple story about the complexities of life, The House on Malcolm Street is a treasure.
So much sadness and grief. Both Leah and Josiah have much in their lives. The last thing either one of them wants is to be constantly reminded of their losses.
Both of them end up in a boarding house run by an aunt who seems to specialize in the care of damaged people. Even people who don’t want help.
And then there are the trains – both providing a livelihood and immense fear. How do they play a part in calming fears and bringing together families?
This book will grab your heart strings and just keep on tugging. Yes, you’re going to need some of those tissues near the end.
