Empty Nest — Barbara Bailey Caspersen; Marilyn Williams

Empty Nest, the fourth and final book in the Anna Series, written by authors Bailey and Williams, continues to show the grit and the spunk for which Anna is famous. As her children grow and gradually leave the "nest" Anna battles feelings of loneliness but tries to show a bright face in front of the other children. She looks back over her life to see if she might have changed anything or if she could have had anything changed for the better. As she thinks through these ideas she realizes that God has had His hand on her life from the beginning. As she battles disease, she wonders if this will take her life and the idea of leaving her children give her feelings beyond sadness, but again, she relies on God and His & "keeping" ability.
