“Some stories may even have unsuspecting heroes in them, such as wise Grandma Belle and a cow named Gladys with the freshest milk in town”
While so many Catholic stories take place in Europe, this charming story takes place right here in the U.S.A….on the banks of Lake Leelanau in Michigan!
In this gentle and moving picture book, read the TRUE STORY of a peaceful little Catholic village in Michigan where the bells ring out to announce the time of the Angelus and to announce births, weddings, and deaths.
In this village, a pair of twins was born. But one of the twins isn’t doing well… her wise and loving grandmother is the only one who can help.
**And–this is a TRUE STORY!**
Katie Warner shares, “What a peaceful read for families. It beautifully weaves our faith into everyday life and prayer, and inspires readers to have hope, thank God for His goodness, and relish our gifts, places, and blessings, as well as the story He is writing with our lives.”

Theoni Bell comments that, “The story gives a glimpse at Catholic culture which is usually only seen in stories from Old Europe. Yet, it’s Michigan! Irene’s story touches a longing for our children to know simpler times, times when life was more integrated with the faith and thus more filled with joy.”
Another customer shares, “This book is beautiful!! Not only for the amazing story (which is itself a lesson in faith in God, hope in His mercy and perseverance to protect Life) but for the knowledge that the details are exactly true. Thrilling to know this happened in our backyard to where we live!”
