Faith Came Late — Freda Chrisman

Julie needs faith to endure her broken life.

Vice-principal of an exclusive Kansas City girl's school, Julie Richmond is fiercely independent. But she is the stabilizing influence for her younger sisters, Lisa and Colleen, in their broken and hurting family.

Enter Alex Stewart, a minister with an eight-year-old daughter enrolled in Julie's school, and her independence begins to lose ground. Threatened by his devotion to God, the more Julie tries to avoid Alex, the more his Christian witness affects her life.

Lisa marries, Colleen goes away to college, and Julie, enduring abuse from her ill mother, still resists Alex's help. Will she ever lay aside her pride and surrender to faith...and love?
