Father Mother God

I continued to read Father Mother God written by Lucia Ewing which is a memoir. I really do enjoy reading this book because I know some of the people that she talks about in the book because they're my relatives, but also because it's very fascinating because you get to learn about christian scientists and their way of life. Lucia realizes that her mother is sick, she's very worried about her mother. Lucia doesn't want to talk to any of her relatives about her mother because christian science says that if you talk about someone beingn sick they will become more sick. She's not sure she believes in christian scientist because she wants her mother to go to a doctor. Her mothers friends and relatives are kind of suspicious of what's going on because she keeps making excuses that she can't go places. Lucia feels like she's lying to her family when she speaks to them and doesn't mention that her mother is sick. Her mother is in a christian science home for sick people, and they think she's about to die when JoAnn her mother asks to go to the hospital and she starts to get a little bit better. Lucia's Grandmother Johnson now knows how sick JoAnn is and she calls Lucia to tell her to tell JoAnn how much she loves her and to tell Lucia's father that she will never ever forgive him. Late at night in the hospital JoAnn tells Lucia and her sister Olivia that her father kept her in the christian science home and she wanted to come to the hospital a long time ago.
