A Home for Grandma
If the Metzler five had known what unusual, unanticipated, and unwelcome events the summer held for them—but then, they do not know, so they proceed on their happy, busy way, a day at a time, until certain circumstances foretell the fact that this summer is not going to be an ordinary one.
Of course, the ten-acre truck patch demands the usual, unrelenting toil of planting, weeding, and harvesting, but the truck patch does not prevent other things from happening.
Joseph, the fresh-air boy from New York City, arrives with a flourish, contributing more than his share of excitement for the two short weeks of his stay.
Things continue to happen as a hike ends in disaster, a thunderstorm changes plans drastically for Merle, and William tries his hand at tractor driving with some exciting and unexpected results.
Then there is Grandma who quietly and cheerfully mingles with the Metzler family, showing love, unselfishness, helpfulness, peace, and a longing for heaven.
