When the families return to Viamede, Lulu's struggles continue with potentially devastating consequences for her half-sister! Through her father's guidance and a difficult lesson, Lulu learns greater self-control. See how their heavenly Father blesses the Raymond family, providing a way for Captain Raymond to leave his life as a naval officer and be home with his family."--Amazon.
