VIP Book Club Podcast – Julia’s Hope

During the November 2018 VIP Book Club meeting, we discussed Julia’s Hope by Leisha Kelly.

Download Julia’s Hope DB061447 or contact the library for a copy.

The 1929 market crash left Samuel Wortham, his wife, Julia, and their two children with absolutely nothing. Forced to leave their home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and take shelter in an abandoned farmhouse in Illinois, they are blessed by the mercy of owner Emma Graham, who offers new hope.
