Title: Waiting For Amanda
Description: "I DON'T TURN KINFOLK AWAY. . . ."

Aunt Mary May said when she agreed to take recently orphaned Amanda Winchester and her younger sister into her poverty-stricken Kentucky home. Amanda soon realized that it would now be her sole responsibility to run the broken-down house, raise her flighty sister, and care for her aging relative. She was determined not to accept help from anyone. Yet how would she ever manage, bitter as she still felt, and grieving for her mother?

It was only when she allowed her icy heart to thaw that she found that love - and only love- will find a way. [text from book jacket]
