The fourth book in the Esther Reid series, Wise and Otherwise deepens the spiritual and relational threads among familiar characters. When Dell Bronson comes to stay with Abbie, their time together is soon shaped by the arrival of a new pastor—one whose past intersects painfully with Dell’s.

Dell Bronson arrives in Lewiston unsure of what awaits her, but with a strong sense of her identity and of her duty to help her estranged father.
