In The Happy Room by Catherine Palmer, the Mossman children believed their parents had abandoned them after being sent to a boarding school at a young age. Peter turned from God in anger, while Julia embraced her faith.
They are drawn together by their sister's tragic illness, and they must face the truth of their past. They make peace with each other and their parents and discover God has never left them.
I found this to be a very interesting read. The characters are children of missionary parents to Kenya, and this book includes description of the culture and language of its people.
One thing I took away from this book is that despite anger and bitterness toward family, there is room for forgiveness and peace! I would love to read more books by this author!
