“It was early September 1951. The night before, a combine pulled into our yard to harvest our flax. The next morning we awoke to find our entire flax crop was smashed down into the mud by a heavy, wet snow that came during the night. We were unable to harvest a single bushel of flax. Earlier that season our wheat and oats had been wiped out in a hailstorm. After an entire year’s effort and not one red cent of income to show from our efforts, our dream was dead.”
So begins Maurice Solie’s reflections on finding “The Trail” through faith in God, a true tale that leads us from economic collapse, to a grandson whose life was threatened by cancer, to dealing with the loss of the love of his life. It is a story of love, life, and dedication, finding beauty and strength, and the continued faith that has led him and his family to higher ground through the darkest of times.
