Mindy

She sat a long time before the window, 
unraveling the years, 
searching for the dropped stitch. 
Mindy dreamed of teaching--if she survived tuberculosis. Then she met Carl Matthews with the sky-blue eyes--eyes that turned to ice when she asked him to go to church with her. Among the goldenrod and purple asters she gave him her heart. Then, against her father's wishes, she gave him her hand in marriage. But would her deepening faith survive his scorn? 
Originally published in 1977, Mindy soon became a classic. Long out of print, it is at last reborn to sway a new generation. Author June Strong narrates one woman's poignant struggle between her love of family and her love of God, tracing to the bittersweet end her joys and sorrows as she raises children in a divided home. Mindy is a haunting chronicle of love, loss, and faith in the furnace. 
"My wife couldn't put it down; finished it in one sitting, and burst into tears. Here is a book that leaves a lasting lump in the throat."

Why would a middle-aged mother of six leave her home and walk up Maine's U.S. highway all alone? " I was not running away, " she writes. "I was searching for something lost. but found instead something that had been with me right along." Who am I? she questioned. Who is June Strong anyway? Mother, author, wife, speaker, homemaker, daughter of God... will the real June Strong please stand up? "I went on this trip," she writes "determined to unpeel the accumulated layers of conventional religion and see if there was anything underneath." " I wanted a new heart." And so she walked and thought, paused to read and ponder. Who am I? Why am I? Does my value lie in my role as Christian, as a mother, a wife, a writer? Why aren't I more content? Why do I get so frustrated, so depressed? And so she, this well known, much sought after Christian writer, left her family on a hike along the coast of Maine. She thought she was going home. But was she? Walk along with her. Be silent with her and think the larger thoughts that too often are pushed aside by hectic schedules and the everyday pressures that never end. "One must keep blossoming toward his God-center like the Queen Anne's lace," she discovered. "Leaving, changing, growing, giving, and daring to be oneself, but always with love." I cannot read this most personal journal without unbidden tears. It touches a chord deep inside, in some secret place that I hardly dare admit exists. Her dreams, her fears, her frustration, and her hope are part of every man and woman. It might be well for all of us to take a little journey. - Penny Estes Wheeler.
