With wedding plans well underway, Lois Barker plots to gracefully get rid of her groom’s catfish collection – stuffed, ceramic, woven. Her husband-to-be, Chris, on the other hand, has decided to get rid of something else: his homestead, which he gives to a needy Mexican family at church. Life is full of possibilities, and the community of Green is tickled pink that their newspaper owner is settling down with one of their own.

The Green Series order is as follows:

• Book #1: Gone to Green

Never Doubt That the Unending Love of a Father-or the Pure Faith of a Child-Can Change Lives

“His name is Ashish. His name is blessing. The boy is my blessing.”

Yet a simple drink of water changes all their lives forever. For Virat, Latha, and Ashish are Untouchables, members of a caste who must never contaminate the world of the other, higher, castes. When Ashish mistakenly drinks from the wrong cup, he’s badly beaten.

Knowing that his son needs a doctor – which takes money – Virat ventures into the dangerous realm of the high caste. He begs Mammen Samuel Varghese, the wealthy landowner and Christian, for money. He receives the loan – along with a life of slavery for himself and his family. But Mammen Samuel does not understand the strength of a father’s love, the power of a young British nurse who could not forget a boy named Blessing – or the faith of a child.

The Blessings in India series continues with The Hope of Shridula
