F: The Fence My Father Built by Linda S. Clare

   Synopsis: In the process of divorcing her philandering husband, Chaz, Muri loses both her job and her father, Joseph Pond, whom she hasn't seen since she was a young child. Joseph has left her his property in Murkee, Oregon, and in order to settle her father's affairs, she moves lock, stock and barrel with her two children, Nova (16) and Truman (11). Upon arriving in Oregon, Muri finds one dilapidated trailer, several pigs, an eccentric aunt and uncle, and a heated dispute with an angry neighbor over water rights. She feels completely unprepared to handle any of it, but in the end discovers an earthly father's love and peace with her heavenly Father.

   I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story about Muri and her family. The information about Native American artifacts was something I haven't come across before and was a nice change. I loved all the characters and felt they were well fleshed out. I will be looking forward to reading another book from this author.
