As a young woman Adeline meets and marries a handsome orphan after World War II. Their love grows, their discipleship grows, and they flourish in the grace of God, but always within a very limited income. Asshe writes her poetry at her kitchen table between household duties, Adeline expresses her love for God, husband, children, family values, and expresses appreciation for long term friendship. Her firstborn son collects this simple kitchen poetry over a period of nearly forty years. As he collects them he writes retrospections as he looks back on his mothers life, her struggles with Alzheimers, his own life, and includes social commentary. Reflections, family history, Christian testimony, poetry, and grand story telling will lead you through an emotional, yet fulfilling, tale of a simple woman living a life where God puts you. Alzheimers and Satan did not defeat her. Her life had a huge positive effect on the lives she touched. Sweet Adeline is a feel-good biography that will allow you to reflect on your own life.
