*******************************************************************************
AS SHE TRIES TO MAKE A NEW LIFE, WILL SHE EVER FEEL SHE FITS IN?
Young, attractive, a widow with a ten-year-old daughter - Venus Stanton was certainly not the vicar that the traditional parish of Thurston had been expecting. The village was agog and surprised and, in some cases, not at all pleased.
Venus had to endure curiosity, misunderstandings and even downright hostility. But she also found warmth, friendship and kindness - sometimes from the most unexpected quarters.
Still mourning the death of her husband, and having to cope with the problems of single parenthood, Venus began to think that she would never manage the task she had set herself. Perhaps the doubters were right. But many others - including the local handsome doctor - thought otherwise...
Venus's story continues in Mixed Blessings.
