Deb Squire –
I waited 12 hours to read the last few chapters. I just didn’t want the book to end.
Such detail describing the life during this historic period of time in America. The In depth features of gardening, family dynamics, and the price of loss set a strong foundation for this story.
Overshadowing all the details of the book was Rebekah’s vast knowledge and understanding of God’s love for us. She expressed it in every part of the characters lives. I’m so glad that this is a series. I can’t wait to see what life holds for the characters.
