The Reunion Author:Jack Weyland When Eric Turner first considered attending his high school's twentieth reunion, he envisioned a romantic weekend getaway where he and his wife Janice could relax and separate themselves from the responsibilities of home and bishopric for a few fleeting hours.But somehow the weekend gets out of hand. A pair of motorcycle-riding, free-l... more »oading cousins; soon-to-be missionary Dale and his girl friend; and a slim, striking blonde who, to Janice's consternation, seems to remember Eric quite fondly, throw obstacle after monkey wrench in the way.
Eric's wistful anticipation of time alone with Janice fades quickly as a veritable parade of visitors invades the Turners' room at Frosty Hollow Lodge. Ryan and Michelle want help proselyting the entire reunion. Ann (who sent Eric a Dear John while he was on his mission) and her husband confess some rather startling news; Bucky Barnes chokes and guffaws when he hears what Eric does for a living; and Kelli Grumbaugh is intent on raising the consciousness of women everywhere--including Janice's.
The Reunion is a novel for those who have attended or who ever hope to attend a class reunion, and for those who may be struggling with the daily juggle of domesticity, church service, and career ambitions. Author Jack Weyland handles it all with humor and just the right touch of pathos.« less
