Book review: The Harvest of Grace

The Harvest of Grace by Cindy Woodsmall is book 3 in the Ada's House series.While I have not read the first 2 books, I can say that this book was a very good read. There is a short summary in the beginning to reacquaint or to acquaint you with the characters, as well as a glossary and summary of characters at the end of the book to help the reader, like me, whom may not have read the first 2 books.



In Harvest of Grace, Woodsmall offers another wonderful story filled with love and understanding of God's love.

From Amazon.com (The synopsis):

"Although Sylvia Fisher recognizes that most Old Order Amish women her age spend their hours managing a household and raising babies, she has just one focus—tending and nurturing the herd on her family’s dairy farm. But when a dangerous connection with an old beau forces her to move far from home, she decides to concentrate on a new start and pour her energy into reviving another family’s debt-ridden farm.

After months in rehab, Aaron Blank returns home to sell his Daed’s failing farm and move his parents into an easier lifestyle. Two things stand in his way: the father who stubbornly refuses to recognize that Aaron has changed and the determined new farmhand his parents love like a daughter. Her influence on Aaron’s parents could ruin his plans to escape the burdens of farming and build a new life.

Can Aaron and Sylvia find common ground? Or will their unflinching efforts toward opposite goals blur the bigger picture— a path to forgiveness, glimpses of grace, and the promise of love."

Harvest of Grace is about accepting God's forgiveness and allowing yourself to give forgiveness and Grace to those in our lives whom we may be harboring ill feelings toward. I enjoyed this book very much especially due to it's plot and character development.

DISCLAIMER: I received this book free from Waterbrook Publishing. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
