Where does an old lady sneak off to when she ditches her church group?
If she’s stubborn and peppery like Aunt Ula, she rides a train back to her secrets.

Ula’s looking for pieces of her past, and the trail began on a southern railway over sixty years ago.
This time, a guilt-laden, leopard-haired gal has decided to be her friend and seatmate. The twenty-five-year-old is also running away, her remorse trailing all the way back to Texas. The two discover they have stories in common and secrets to share.

But Ula can’t explain the force driving her to collect the pieces of her past—particularly a memento hidden during WWII by a man most people think is a figment of her imagination.
With the strange Texas gal’s help, she may be able to find it…

After all, both women already know the first rule of change:
You have to leave to start the journey.

Sweet, raw, believable

Reviewed in the United States on 1 July 2014

I've read the other two Lutheran Ladies Circle books and found them to be easy, entertaining, and somewhat lacking in depth. They were books I read while sunbathing or half watching a movie... I didn't need to pay much attention to keep up with the plot.
Thanks For Leaving, however, kept me riveted in a way I didn't expect. I was completely drawn in to Ola and Rolf's relationship, the trials and struggles of women in WWII, and the hope that the book would last long enough for them to find each other again and live happily ever after, even though I had an idea from reading the first two books that probably wouldn't happen.
Thanks For Leaving was touching, endearing, and occasionally heart-breaking. The writing and the plot were personal, strong, and powerful at times. Not an easy fluff piece, for sure. This book deserves to be savored and appreciated.

Satisfying

Readers, I hope you start with book 1 and then continue through them all. This book left me much more satisfied than most books I read. These books are enjoyable reads but so much more; they are wonderful teaching tools. And they are terrific reminders of God’s unending love, how He meets us wherever we are, and loves us warts and all.

Different from the first two, but wonderful, too

Reviewed in the United States on 5 May 2014

Verified Purchase

This is third of a series of three Lutheran Ladies Circle books, but it can easily be read as a stand-alone. The main character is a preposterous, outrageous (in a fun way) woman. In this book, she recalls much of her past life as she rides on a train. She tells her story to a younger woman who is also on the train. Part of is are hilarious, and there is also a touching feeling about a sharing of life lessons between generations. I did miss the involvement of the characters from the first two book, and I regret that the author has written only three in this series. The whole series is a wonderful way to spend some time away from every day life while doing quite a bit of laughing. I recommend this book!

Another Amazing Story

Reviewed in the United States on 1 October 2019

The women of the Lutheran Ladies Circle become more and more intriguing. Aunt Ula’s story is the best yet. How she learned, coped, and overcame the challenges of growing up and wise during WW2 delighted and astonished me. This wonderful series should be made into individual movies.

Best of the Bunch

Reviewed in the United States on 9 April 2014

Thanks for Leaving is the third in the Lutheran Ladies series, after Plucking One String, and Through the Knothole. I got to know Aunt Ula, the main character of this book, in the first two books as a sidekick character, but in this book we really get to know her. And love her. I enjoyed the first two books very much, but this one grabbed me by the heart. It may be that because I am also a cranky old woman I identify with Aunt Ula.

The book is well written with just the right amount of humor, right amount of emotion, and right amount of real people doing real things. It is about church ladies in a secular world. I am not a church lady, but I know these women, and I'm so glad I do.

An amazing book

Reviewed in the United States on 5 September 2014

I couldn't put this book down, I stayed up several nights into the wee small hours of the morning reading while my family was sleeping. The story was so amazing and left me knowing how much God loves me and makes something good out of all the mess that life creates. It taught me about things that I never knew that went on during the war. And what it must've felt like to be a woman alone waiting for that son, husband, brother, or friend to come back from that terrible war.
Kris ans Barb you are amazing authors. I hope you continue to write stories that reach into the heart and make us laugh and cry and feel God's love.
Thanks

Worth the Trip

Reviewed in the United States on 20 March 2014

A delightful, intelligent, heart-warming read! The reader is taken on a literal train ride with the main character, Aunt Ula, back to her early adulthood. This old woman happens to be the crustiest and eldest of the characters in the author's two previous books in the Lutheran Ladies Circle series. Aunt Ula's experiences include an iffy elopement, living with a bunch of nuns, and working in an airplane factory. All of which makes this book most enticing. I read this book in one sitting, and plan to read it again.

Fascinating story

To me, this has been the best of the Lutheran Ladies Circle books. Aunt Ula's and the Captain's story was fascinating and heartwrenching, taking place during WWII. There is marvelous humor and wisdom in all of these books and insight to our own many weaknesses and strengths.

Read All 3 Books, Loved Them!

Reviewed in the United States on 6 May 2014

Verified Purchase

For started on this series when I got the 1st book for free. I don't usually read the rest in a series because I didn't enjoy the first one-------This was a totally different story. Although each book was a separate story they all involved someone from the first book. I wish I was a writer so I could explain the way this book made me think/rethink about my journey through life as I went with Ula on hers and the peace, joy and fulfillment it handed out. LOVED IT!!!

Loved the book

The third in the series of books: The Lutheran Ladies's Circle. As the Circle Ladies drive from their home in the midwest to San Diego for the national Lutheran Ladies Convention, the elderly, Aunt Ula, is missing. She snuck off and boarded a train to San Diego on her own. During the train trip Aunt Ula tells her life story to a young woman with boots held together with duct tape. And, it is a great story of Aunt Ula's experiences as a child and during WWII (including working as a "Rosie the Riveter".) The story is also interwoven with God's faithfulness, love, and care. The Aunt Ula character is a hoot and I want to be just like her when I "grow up." I love the Lutheran Ladies's Circle books. This one is the best. Hope there will be more.

All Three of the Lutheran Ladies Circle set were very cleverly written. So realistic I could envisage the characters, and their actions, brilliant dialogue, chuckle-out-loud funny, and even found the wisdom of the dotty old aunt very easy to relate to and extremely good therapy. This is one of the few sets that I would like to own in hard print so that I could go back over them from time to time.

This book was do much fun. After loving Aunt Ula through the other books, we learn about her life. She was a great gal and brought much to her life and others. I learned much about WWII from eyes of people on the home front. Good read, great message woven in.

All three books in this series were wonderful. I laughed again and again during book 1 and 2. Book 3, Thanks for Leaving, was a terrific ride through WWII and how it affected the women who joined the labor force. We also get to meet the mysterious sea captain and the love story of Aunt Ula. Would recommend the trio of books to anyone who likes a good giggle and read.

The story was a surprise in that the story turned out to be a WWII story of one of the characters. The Lutheran insights added a certain depth not normally covered in such stories. I enjoyed the story a Ula in particular.
