Review # 1 was written on 2014-10-31 00:00:00 Chuck Wells Morris was the first Christian fiction writer I read and this the first book. I picked this up in a Christian bookshop and enjoyed it so much that I bought the rest of the series of 4. The story is set around a Christian family living in a simple rural area. It is about the various trials they experience due to death and absence of key members of the family for various reasons. I especially liked the sense of community encapsulated in the series and that everything is linked back to the strong Christian faith of the lead characters. There is also a romantic storyline running throughout which doesn't take centre stage but is another reason to keep reading. I read the series twice over the last 5 years and it has become a favourite. Recommended for anyone who wants to read something wholesome that keeps the attention.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-11-01 00:00:00 Harold Smith At first I was a little wary - I had read two rather preachy and somewhat dull books by Louisa May Alcott not too long ago. I was so wrong! And the positive reviews were so right. This is a lovely and refreshing and never boring story with good Christian values. Set in Arkansas during the Great Depression (a bit of a Waltons feel ...), it's about family, fellowship, faith, and the power of prayer in all adversity. I loved it. Volume 2 is already on my list.
