Phoebe
Diane Noble

At a secondhand store in 1935 California, widow Faith Green discovers a wooden doll, its carved face rubbed smooth as if from a child’s caresses. From Faith’s first glance, the doll captures her heart.
She is not alone in her feelings. The doll, Phoebe, has been cherished by others, young and old, through seven decades: a sorrowful widow afraid to love again, a troubled child unable to learn, a bitter bride in need of forgiveness, a runaway boy seeking the glory of war–only to discover its inglorious tragedy.
As each story unfolds and Phoebe moves through different owners’ hands, the mystery of her origin begins to unravel, revealing God’s ever-present grace.
