But Valley City, Minnesota, is no longer the safe haven of his childhood, for life has dealt some harsh blows. His grandfather has suffered a heart attack, his parents have separated, and his father is harboring a painful secret about the Hollister heritage. It's not exactly the perfect place to contemplate a life-altering decision, but it's the best place he has."Diamonds in the Grass is a joyous journey of discovery...where the grass isn't always green but the diamonds of laughter manage to sparkle anyway. It's a journey where Daniel learns that things aren't always decided by chance or even by signs. Most often, they're simply decided, period. And he himself holds the key.

At seventy-five, Evelyn Justison questions God when her vivacious sister-in-law, Nell, is called up yonder before her. With no husband to tend, a daughter who defines independence, and no grandchildren to coddle, why does she remain? But when Nell's diaries force Evelyn to face her painful past, she's reminded that her future is in the best of hands. Pastor Eric Masterson moved to Crow River to get on with his life, but guilt over the death of his wife and son trails him like a shadow. Then he meets Evelyn's daughter, and Susan not only rocks his world and heals his hurt; she revives his hope to love again. Susan Justison defies conventionality. With hands skilled in carpentry, a head full of determination, and a heart rich with friends, the last thing she needs is a husband. Then Eric sets her orderly world reeling with a kiss, and she faces the first insurmountable challenge of her life. For she's certainly not raw material for a minister's wife. Crow River, Minnesota, in 1993 has people like any other place...hurting and healing, laughing and loving...in The Circle of Life.
