The green olive tree

Melinda -- hers was a married life laced with the difficulties of living with a husband not only immature in outlook, but also visionary and impractical. Still, courageous Melinda loved her Jamie and devoted her days to making him happy, dreaming with him of the better days that never came, and mourning his loss when his drive toward prosperity and success took his life. Meg -- despite the fact that she saw what the unequal yoke did to her mother, thought that her happiness lay with Mike, the charming and the dissolute. Mike provided well for Meg, and loved her in his easy-going way, but he looked beyond his home and family for excitement and activity. Faithfully, Meg stood by only to see all her dreams crash in bitter disillusionment and despair. Linda -- vowed that married life would not bring her the same unhappiness it had dealt her mother and grandmother -- and insulated her heart against becoming involved with anyone -- until Randy came on the scene. Then war drove a wedge between these two who had seemed destined for one another, when they had found time for only a few scattered moments of happiness. These three stalwart and courageous women come to life in the pages of Irene Murray's new and powerful story, The Green Olive Tree. Throughout the recounting of their saga of life, the reader is conscious of an underlying truth -- "Be ye not unequally yoked with the unbeliever...." It is Linda who finally learns the secret and embarks upon a life of happiness and fulfillment based on the solid foundation of mutual dependence upon the Lord of life. - Jacket flap.
