Based on historical characters and events, A Gathering of Finches
tells the story of a turn-of-the-century Oregon coastal couple and the
consequences of their choices, as seen through the eyes of the wife, her
sister, and her Indian maid. Along the way, the reader will discover
reasons to trust that money and possessions can't buy happiness or
forgiveness, nor permit us to escape the consequences of our choices.
The story emphasizes the message that real meaning is found in the
relationships we nurture and in living our lives in obedience to God.
