Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-14 00:00:00 Troy Strother I absolutely love this series of books. Perhaps its my age. Its about three women who sell their homes and buy a 100 year old farmhouse to renovate, after their husbands are gone. They are in my age group and I love reading about their "adventures" and what one can do with their life, no matter their age. I like that the story is about "life" and not necessarily all about a relationship between a man and a woman and falling in love. This is about three mature women who have been dear friends for many years. It's about their children and a lost boy whom they take into their home and hearts and about animals, and other people in the community with whom they develop relationships. Isn't that what most of our lives are about? I love how down to earth it all is and how things don't just happen, but that they have to work really hard and how they support and encourage each other through it all. Bad things happen, the house and farm are a money pit, but they make it work somehow. It's very uplifting, interesting, and refreshing for a change. Love it.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-17 00:00:00 Peter Smith I love this series like I loved the Mitford series by Jan Karon. So easy and sweet, mostly happy endings, which are sometimes needed. I believe in happy endings, and I am happy when I get them. You also know what to expect from these books, which is good too sometimes. This book continues along the same vein as the first, this time with the addition of Cici's daughter Lori, and more about Noah, a teenage boy they are unofficially fostering. The young adults add a new perspective to the book that was missing in the first, and are also trying to find themselves and their place in the world. Interspersed throughout the book are flashbacks to the house through the hundred some years in its history, from the civil war on up. We are introduced to the inhabitants of Blackwell Farms, and what had transpired through the years. These were my favorite parts in the book I think, and also served another purpose - that you learn at the very end of the book.
