Or to Korea's Demilitarized Zone?While their boys are facing the challenge of possible service to the country, bewildering events begin to happen at the Berg Farm. Who is Gerald Hicks? And why did he send a mysterious letter claiming ownership of part of the farm the family has worked for nearly one hundred years?Just as with farming when it rains sometimes it pours, so also sometimes in life. The Berg family has a strong Christian faith, except for young Clark who ever manages to doubt and stray. As ever more troubles befall the Berg family, will their faith see them through? Will each member's faith be strengthened, or will some lose heart When Troubles Rain?* * *This special Tenth Anniversary Edition contains two notes by the author. One note explains why Jim Hodge dedicated his novel to seven soldiers. The other note is about "God's Providence and Getting History Right." The author explains the unlikely but timely finding of old news-paper clippings that revealed a mystery. Which, as it turned out, was solved in a nearby town. This is in itself a lovely story, though a true one.
