The Waltons: The Easter Story

by Robert Weverka

It was a bitter winter on the mountain. Olivia lay stricken with a desperate illness that crippled her legs and sent the whole family into a crisis.

Money was scarce. Doctor bills piled up. There was nothing to pay for food or gas.

Then, as Olivia struggled to walk by Easter -the season of renewal and hope- John stood suddenly accused of a crime, and the whole mountain wondered how the family would survive this winter ordeal.

This was really written in the style of how the Waltons were. It was like watching an episode of the series on tv. Loved how the days used to be and how the story was.

I first read this book back when I was in high school, and every now and again, I like to haul it out and re-read it around Easter. It's a reminder of happy, simpler times in my life and a fun trip down memory lane.
