Chapter 5: Unexpected Blessings

In the sun-baked Southern town of Havenwood, June Abernathy is equal parts matriarch, mischief-maker, and miracle worker—a woman whose faith is as fierce as her potato salad. But when a sudden health scare shakes the foundations of her family, the Abernathys are forced to confront old regrets, unspoken truths, and the delicate art of holding on without holding back. With a gospel-loving terrier, a meddling pastor, and a cast of neighbors who never met a secret they couldn’t share, this heartfelt, humorous, and deeply human story unfolds in laughter, prayer, and the quiet grace of simply being together.

A blend of Southern wit, family drama, and tender resilience, Chapter 5: Unexpected Blessings is a warm, character-driven journey that will make you laugh, ache, and maybe call your grandma.

Chapter 3: Facing the Past

In this chapter of The Gospel According to Grandma June, the storm outside is nothing compared to the one brewing inside—until grace shows up, drenched and unexpected. When a family photo album cracks open old wounds, Sadie and Mark are forced to confront the heartbreak and humor of growing up Abernathy. What begins as a cleanup after a Southern potluck turns into a candlelit reckoning, a late-night confession, and a broken father's return.

Chapter Three: “Facing the Past” is a tender, funny, and raw look at what happens when the past refuses to stay boxed up—and what happens when God has a plan.
