Daybreak by Shelley Shepard Gray

Working in a retirement home Viola becomes friends with an elderly resident who loves to read letters from his son, Edward. A missionary in Nicaragua, Edward doesn't visit often and Viola feels he shouldn't live so far away; this is not the Amish way of taking care of family. When Edward does return she realizes that her criticisms are unfounded. Turmoil in her heart over her feelings for this man mix with trials at home with her grandparent's secrets and her father's secrets too.  Viola's grandmother has always been highly critical of her children which has caused many hurt feelings and climax when her secret is found out. How will this family deal with the secrets and how will Edward's future in the missionary field affect Viola? I enjoyed the likable characters in this novel and how they find solutions to their problems.
