Who sleeps when reading Cindy Woodsmall? I know I don’t. The Harvest of Grace is very well written and keeps the reader going to find out how things work out. Sylvia has been helping her father on their Amish dairy farm, has made improvement suggestions, and found that she preferred the dairy barn to tending house and looking forward to marriage. It appeared that marriage was on the horizon, but Elam did not understand or accept her desire to be involved in the day to day operations of a dairy. After he marries one of her sisters, Sylvia finally convinces her father she needs to find work elsewhere. Leaving the family farm, she is employed by Michael Blank to help on his farm. Aaron, Michael’s son, returns home after spending time in a rehab program to help on the farm in hopes of eventually convincing his father to sell. As the reader progresses through the issues facing both Sylvia and Michael, we find that previous characters from other books return and continue with their stories.
Do not become disheartened and decide that reading the third book in a series will leave you out in the uninformed cold. Cindy begins The Harvest of Grace by giving a brief recap of The Hope of Refuge and The Bridge of Peace. She introduces the main characters for these two books and tells enough of their stories to help you make the transition to The Harvest of Grace.
And as you finish The Harvest of Grace, you find that all of the characters have reached the resolution of the issues facing them in each of their own stories.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
