Harvest of Blessings is the 5 th book in the Season of the Heart Series. When prodigal daughter Nora Glick Landwehr returns home to her small town of Willow Ridge,  she has the best intention to help her community, however with her flashy red car and her English ways, Nora knew acceptance and forgiveness that she was seeking was going to be difficult from the community, especially her father. Harvest of Blessings is a wonderful Amish story of how we are all called to forgive, and Charlotte Hubbard has done an extraordinary job of showing us that it is with the grace of God we can forgive those who have hurt us. This story has helped me understand the importance of forgiving others that have wronged me or a member of my family. My hope is that when you read this story you will be moved to forgive someone in your life. I received a freed copy of this book for my honest review.

An Amish Cradle publication date is set for February 10, 2015 and is written by some of the best Amish Fiction authors that I have read.  Beth Weisman, Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller and Vanneta Chapman have produced yet another wonderful story. I enjoy the writings of these ladies and how each author tells a story that brings their own unique characters to life to which we can all relate. An Amish Cradle is full of warm stories of precious moments reminiscent of when we became parents, whether for the first, second, or more times. This book tugs at the heart of every parent and shares with us the lessons of love woven into the bonds between parent and child. This piece masterfully places us in a walk with characters forced to confront the fraternal fears and haunts that we all share. I found myself meeting generous people who, through ordinary means, set extraordinary examples of faith and the rewards of submitting to God's Will to persevere in any challenge. I strong
