REUBEN’S FAMILY!!!!!
Reuben&Anna Grace and their sweet little angel, Elsie 🥰
Reuben and Anna Grace meet a year after Reuben moves to America with his brothers, when they meet at Church. Reuben falls in love with the passionate, loving, but fierce Southern girl, and before long, Anna Grace falls for him. They marry, and within a year, their little Elsie is born.
Reuben and Anna Grace’s love for each other and their daughter has no bounds, and having a family has helped Reuben heal from the pain of his past.
Reuben and Anna Grace, both natural artists, fill their home with sketches and paintings, and Elsie loves to finger paint. Reuben works for a local grocer, and though it isn’t much, it keeps him, Anna Grace, and Elsie fed.
Life is good…even perfect…but suddenly, Reuben is called for service in Korea. He and Anna Grace trust that God will protect him…and so, Reuben goes for his country.
Anna Grace is left to care for their daughter, praying every morning and night for her husband. Reuben fights…and God has his hand on him…even when there’s a deadly battle.
Anna Grace receives a telegram…and she fears for her husband, who is marked as “injured in combat”.
But with God’s grace…Anna Grace soon hears that her husband is indeed alive, and Reuben is, in fact, alive.
Reuben is alive…the attack didn’t kill him…but it did take his left arm.
Life instantly becomes more difficult, and Reuben struggles and wrestles with God, as Anna Grace tries to just be there for the husband she so dearly loves.
Reuben is glad to be alive…but he can’t help but wonder…how could a good God let him lose his arm?

@hybridlore Oh, he learns to draw with his right hand 😘
@esther-c And the last family!!!! (Unless y’all wanna hear about Adolphus’ fam too 🥰)WOLFGANG’S FAMILY!!!!!
Wolfgang&Mika (Wolfka) and their son, Ryu.
Wolfgang and Mika met in 1947, while they were both at College in California, Wolfgang pursuing a degree in Medicine, Mika pursuing a degree in Business, and love quickly formed between them.
By 1948, they were married, Mika already having graduated from College, and by 1949, their son, Ryu, was born.
Wolfgang finished his first four years but chose to take a break to focus on Mika and Ryu. By 1952, he’s been out of college for about a year, and life is pretty good…for a while.
But suddenly, Wolfgang and Mika are burdened with information no parent wants to hear or bear…Ryu has cancer. Their lives are suddenly turned upside down, and though Ryu remains happy, his parents are stressed out…and Wolfgang is called to Korea to work as a medic…tensions rise…and Wolfgang and Mika…their marriage begins to crumble.
They can’t find a way to ask for help, and even Wolfgang’s own brothers don’t know about his struggling marriage. Stress makes them both do things they’d never imagine doing, whether it’s having angry outbursts or slipping into drinking, and Mika is so tired she wants a divorce. She agrees to wait on divorce until Wolfgang comes back from Korea, but their marriage is still falling apart.
They continue to speak to each other through letters…but will God be able to save their marriage before it’s too late?

@hybridlore they all struggle…but probably the main theme of their 2nd book will be trusting God, even in the darkest moments 🥰
And Adolphus’ fam is right here!!!!
Adolphus&Hilda, and their little boys, Henry (left), and Aiden (right)
Adolphus and Hilda meet during WWII, both as former Officers in the SS, and they marry. In 1946, their first child, Henry, is born, and four years later, Aiden follows.
Adolphus dearly loves his wife and sons, and vows to do anything he can to protect them…but Hilda is extremely abusive, mostly verbally, and when Aiden is only 1 month old, following Adolphus’ youngest half-sisters’ disease that’s left her crippled, Hilda suddenly leaves Adolphus…and doesn’t even say goodbye.
His sister is kicked out of her parents’ house for being a “cripple”, and Adolphus brings her in.
Left with two sons and a sister to care for, Adolphus’ life is filled with caring for the people he loves most.
He struggles with guilt from knowing the ways he hurt his stepbrothers and even his own brother in the past…and grief joins that strong guilt.
He has to work evening/nights every day except Sundays, and takes care of his house, even though he can’t quite afford it, so his parents pay for it.
On one condition.
His sons have to stay with his parents when he’s working. And he has no other choice but to let them have their way.
And his parents still have control over him, and…as he was in his young childhood…he’s abused.
And Henry saw him be brutally beaten one day, and is now afraid of leaving his Daddy’s side and terrified of his grandparents.
His sister helps out as much as she can, but bound in a wheelchair, she can’t do much, but he cares for her anyway, loving her more than he ever had before.
But he’s still haunted by guilt…and when he hears that two men are coming to Germany to tell their stories and bring the Gospel, he goes with his boys…just hoping he can find answers…or just…something.
Because all Adolphus wants…is hope.
