The Waltons: The Puzzle

by Carl Henry Rathjen

Jason Walton was a loose piece in the family puzzle. Just as each piece of a jigsaw puzzle is different, so is each member of a family, and each must find his own special space in the family picture. Unlike his family, Jason viewed the Depression as a permanent cloud – with no silver lining. But through his experience with a confused and desperate girl and the understanding of John-Boy, Jason learned that one must keep on trying, no matter how hopeless the effort seems. Sooner or later, all the pieces fall into place.

Just like watching an episode of the Waltons.

This was a story aimed more at kids, but I really liked it, very quick read of course. But it was so true to the tone of the Waltons TV shows, you could just hear the voice coming through the characters.
