A Touch of Grace by Lauraine Snelling

319 pages..................6 1/2 hours

Book three of the Daughters of Blessing series. Grace is the twin sister of Sophie of the last book. Grace was born deaf and her mother learned to sign and taught many of the Blessing people how to sign, then, she opened her school for the deaf. Grace has been helping with the school but now has graduated from high school and is given an offer by the Goulds of New York to come to New York to attend the Deaf Institute there.

This past Summer, Jonathan Gould has been sent to Blessing to live with the Bjorland family to learn how life is outside of the priviledged circle where he has been raised.

More trial and tribulations as the hoof and mouth disease epidemic causes all the farm families in North Dakota to have to kill off all of the cloven footed animals, so they lose their livelihood, the meat, the milk and cream and the cheese, etc.
