Kathleen's Abiding Hope (Life of Faith, A: Kathleen McKenzie Series)

Kathleen McKenzie's displaced life with relatives on a farm in Ohio took a lot of getting used to. But nothing could prepare her for the long, dry summer. Like the withering crops, Kathleen's faith, too, is beginning to wane as she wonders if she'll ever get back to her own home in Indiana where her friends and her life await her. When a vicious dry spell threatens the farm's livelihood, Kathleen is more determined than ever to help her relatives survive the dismal conditions. But Kathleen stumbles upon a peril even more frightening than the drought---a faceless danger that threatens the lives of the small, rural community.
