The questions that have been provided are intended to enhance your group’s reading of Nicole C. Schroeder’s IN THE MIDST OF A STORM. We hope this will increase your enjoyment and understanding of this book about love and life storms.
  1. Rita was a self proclaimed daddy’s girl: In your opinion, did that cause her to treat Helen Baker unfairly on the night of the banquet?

  2. As far as Mrs. Young was concerned, her daughter Rita did not do enough to preserve her father’s legacy at Holy Ground Community Church. Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

  3. In your opinion, what bothered Mrs. Elizabeth Young the most: the fact that her daughter was involved with a man, who didn’t seem to respect the work that her husband had done in the community or the fact that her daughter didn’t seem to respect her opinion concerning her relationship with Reverend Green?

  4. Reverend Michael Green was extremely attracted to Rita Young. In your opinion, did his attraction towards her ever cause him to behave inappropriately as a pastor?

  5. In Greensboro, Alabama, Holy Ground Community Church is a historical black church, and the members are extremely proud of their history. Do you believe that the members will be able to have that same sense of pride if their predominately black church becomes the multicultural church that Reverend Michael Green envisions?
