Until Harvest by Sarah Loudin Thomas

Sarah Loudin Thomas is a new author for me. I decided to go a little out of my comfort zone and review something I would not normally read and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed this book. I adored the story and her writing was easy to read. I was pleased with her description of the places and people because she was clear and concise. The two main characters, Margaret and Henry, are young and dealing with personal tragedies in their lives and the unknown of what the future holds for them, but the care and love of their family and friends help guide them to a better understanding of God's love and healing. There were no crazy twist and turns in this book. Just a good solid story line with a sweet ending. I recommend this book. Thank you to the publisher for the free review.

A Harvest of Hope by Lauraine Snelling

I enjoyed this book. I read the first one in this series and I wasn't too impressed but this book was much more enjoyable. What I love most about this book are the stories of faith through hardship. There are deaths, physical healing, a town tragedy, and serious town drama, but through it all, the characters of this book show faith in God's mercy and incredible strength. They seek to do what is right no matter the cost and encourage each other along the way. The synopsis of the book is focused on Miriam and Trygve's struggles and relationship. This story line is a good portion of the book, but there are a few other stories within that theme which really bring depth and goodness to this book. I recommend this book. Thank you to the publisher for the free copy.
