It spoke especially to me because my 95 year-old mother is suffering from dementia and is in a nursing facility. It takes a very special patient person to work caring for the elderly and infirm. Evans' character Michael is a good example of that type of person. It made me so mad when he was wrongly accused but so happy with the outcome. ( ) The Locket by Richard Paul Evans Have read other works by the author and have enjoyed them. This one starts out with Ester and she's just come to the mining town, and chapters advance to 1989 where she lives in a nursing home. Story also follows the boy, Michael who takes a job at a nursing home after losing his mother. He has a girlfriend Faye who's attending college and she cooks for him often. Her father talks to him and he needs to break away from her or she'll never get any money or endorsements from him for her education. Story also follows Ester and her life at the mining camp where she cooks and raising her mental child. Interesting about the locket and the connections through the years... Circumstances arise and he's up on charges of a man's death in the nursing home. He knows he's being framed... Powerful touching stories. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). no reviews | add a review
