A young wife and mother, whose family were migrant workers, missed so much early schooling she did not learn to read. Her neighbor and friend (Shirley) insists upon taking her (Mellissa) to the public library to find a tutor. The story tells of difficulties and problems in achieving her goal of learning to read. Husband Cory is not understanding at first but with the help of his boss he does support her. Mell and her tutor (Laurie) became more than student and tutor. Laurie is a Christian and she prays before each lesson and prays for her student. They share their history and when Laurie has a family emergency she needs to go out of town for a while, the literacy coordinator continues to tutor Mell. She shares stories of training tutors and how adult learners and tutors are matched. Shirley’s husband comes home from Afghan and attends school which convinces Cody to also enroll in the local community college. The two couples become close friends. There are several amusing scenes in this story which I hope you will enjoy reading, The book concludes with a graduation party for several students along with Mell and other families and friends attending.
