About this book
Nine-year-old Nannie Merry carries peaches to Grannie Burt and reads the Bible aloud beside her. Grannie is blind, and these visits give the child a chance to ask what heaven means and why faith offers comfort. At home, Nannie's older sister Mary helps her work through a more practical worry: whether endless worship would feel like a Sunday that never ends.
Set among cottages, gardens and family rooms in a small riverside town, this anonymous children's story connects Christian teaching with ordinary acts of care. Nannie's father is a country doctor, and the household includes affectionate siblings whose teasing gives the conversations a familiar domestic setting. Family sorrow later brings the children's beliefs into sharper focus.
