Becky Owens is a talented and passionate young pianist on the verge of adolescence when she learns the devastating news of her mother's critical disease. In desperation, she makes a pact with God, promising to give up the piano and her unparalleled love for music in exchange for a divine extension of her mother's life. When a Mennonite neighbor gives her an Amish doll, Becky finds comfort in the gift, and the faceless doll becomes her confidante during the difficult months ahead. Hospital rules only add to her sorrow -- twelve-year-olds aren't allowed to visit, so Becky and her mother must share tearful smiles through Lancaster General's sunroom windows. A surprise reunion and a lesson in unconditional love compel Becky to rethink her "deal" with God, and the sunroom becomes a place where miracles happen.... Based on the author's childhood, The Sunroom is a touching tale readers will long remember!
