Her Romance. Her Bravery. Her Conversion. Her Courage. For Eleanora Winter's, these things, left as her legacy from her dying grandmother, will show her the way to her own faith and who she is as a daughter of God.
But first, Ellie must learn to see her grandmother in a new way. To see why she and her grandmother clash, so she can see what's inside.
It doesn't help when her social life has gone haywire. With her best friend back from his mission, she thinks marriage might soon be in the picture, if she can just get him to notice her. But she doesn't expect the boyish charms of Ian McAllister to throw her off course. Ian heals the void torn between her and her grandmother, opening Ellie's heart to the lessons she has to teach. Lessons that will help Ellie overcome the struggles of a steady relationship in the tense world of Young Single Adults and all its drama.
But everything becomes clearer for Ellie as she reads through the gift her grandmother gives her; her journals. Through the journals, Ellie discovers her faith and love, and that sometimes, what people say doesn't matter. But most of all, she finds the importance of eternal families and the hope she can find through the people she loves the most.
Set in Sydney, Australia, FINDING ELEANORA is a story about finding yourself through learning about your family history, and those who paved the way in the gospel.
