Reasons and Seasons by Terry Robertson recounts Cathanie Vinefsky's and Kevin Monahey's remarkable life together. The narrative is framed in journal enteries and letters beginning in 1952 in Chicago. All lives are filled with unpredictability and this couple face enormous hurdles. However, when life overwhelms them, they pray, embrace each other and new pssibilities. Robertson's writing style is intimate and unpretentious. She seamlessly provides historical context without weighing down the narrative. The author's subtle talent emerges most clearly when she is writing about family and about how families fracture and fragment, but manage to endure, She illuminates the bond between husband and wife clearly and indelibly. Written with charm and candor, Reasons and Seasons is an intimate journey into an extraordinary life that is God-centered, holy and inspiring. I loved it1
