Discernment: Lessons Taught – Lessons Learned (by Missjudy)
Summary: This prequel is set a few weeks before Adam’s departure for school. A simple request to pick up Little Joe from a neighbor’s home where the little boy is playing, ends up bringing Adam into a world of confusion over what’s going on with the wife of his father’s oldest friend.
This is the first of 2 prequels, the first taking place in the weeks before Adam left for college, and the second story showing his return. Both take a fun, yet serious look at how the Cartwright family faces problems.
