Faith Bass Darling's Last Garage Sale by Lynda Rutledge FIC Rut

I have been having a lot of good luck lately finding great books.  This is a book about family, community, secrets, old age and lots of other things!  Faith Bass grew up in a very wealthy family.  When she was swept off of her feet by Claude Darling she thought her life would be picture-perfect.  Now it is the last day of the 20th century and Faith is all alone.  Her son and husband are gone and her daughter left 20 years ago.  During that time Faith has become a recluse and now she has Alzheimer's and reality comes and goes.  She has had a message from God that she should sell her possessions - the things that had been in her family for generations, the things that she loved.  She begins to drag pricey and priceless items out on the lawn and the garage sale begins.  Faith had an influence on people in her small town and now many of them will recall those memories.  Well done Ms. Rutledge - I hope you are busy writing another book.
