Author : Jutta F. Jarnagin
Publish : Living Books, 1982
Genre : Inspirational
I chose this novel because the vocabulary which the author used is familiar for me so that I thought I could comprehend this novel well. In addition, when reading its synopsis, I predicted this novel might tell me about family; therefore I thought the moral value would probably fit in my real life. In short, I chose this novel because of easiness and interest.
I like Harold, a main actress’ husband, because of his pure love to his wife, Jutta Friedlander. He really cared and loved his wife; even his wife couldn’t bear a child. He always took care after his wife when Jutta was hospitalized. He encouraged her to recover. I adore Harold and I hope I have my future husband like him, a kind husband.
I really got touched till my tears rolling down on my cheek when reading a part that told me about the death of Jutta’s mother. When reading this part, I remembered my mother. I haven’t done much good to help my mother and I imagined that if my mother died, I would be so sad.
The moral value of this novel is “Problem is a gift that God gives to teach us”. In this case, when Jutta suffered a mental illness because she really gave her attention to what her neighbor said about her such as “you have a clean house because you don’t have any children”. Initially, she didn’t accept her fate but, further she realized that it was God’s way of teaching her to depend on him for everything and not look to others for approval.
