This book contains some interesting stories about events that have taken place in my home state of Virginia. I love history and Virginia is chock-full of historical happenings. If I'm not mistaken, there have been more U.S. presidents from Virginia than any other state. I found the chapter on Hurricane Camille quite interesting. It happened in 1969, before I was born. :) It's been told that the rain was coming down in sheets - so hard that birds drowned in their nests. Nelson Co, VA (not too far from where I grew up) was hit very hard. There were many fatalities and some folks were never found.
So far, I've only read the first chapter of this book. The author tells the story of the tragic death of her younger sister and the spiritual toll it took on her family. I'm looking forward to reading more.
I always enjoy reading the stories in Guideposts. They're so inspirational and bring me to tears many times.
