Summary of Thomas Thompson's Blood and Money

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The old man had a lot on his mind that night, including the hospital visit the next morning. He had woken up numerous times, checking the clock, and was impatient for the new day to begin so he could order the flowers. #2 The old woman, Ma, retched tragically. Her son-in-law, John Hill, watched her and did not help her. She told him not to wake her husband, who would never wake up again. #3 Pa was a paradox, the old man. With one clenched fist rising in the direction of the beyond, he cursed God, but with the other he touched one of his most beloved possessions, an ivory Madonna that Christian warriors had carried through the Crusades. #4 Ash was a colonel in the South Carolina Army National Guard, and his life was ordinary up until the day they told him about Joan. His mother, Eunice Olive Davis, was a great beauty and a genius, while his father, William Robinson, was a rich and doting parent.
