When LaRue Willey (fondly dubbed Sister Bishop by ward members) decides to go back to school to finish her degree, she doesn't realize just how much of an education she's in for. The mother of nine and the wife of a bishop, she knows that her plan won't be an easy one but is determined to conquer what she thinks will be her life's most formidable challenge. After one semester; however, she realizes that her greatest challenge is still to come.

In Expecting Joy, author Janene Wolsey Baadsgaard describes the difficulties and joys of family life without trivializing them and offers readers a story of mature romance and dedication to church and family. While readers who first met the Willeys in Sister Bishop's Christmas Miracle will welcome their return, all readers will be charmed be this delightfully crazy family.

Expecting Joy will have readers laughing one minute and crying the next as they follow Sister Bishop through trials and triumphs that help her realize that the best education in life is learning how to love.
