Can you
believe it is already almost April?! I don’t know how this happened; in my mind
I’m still on winter break! However, before we know it—at least for me—school will
be out and we’ll have the whole summer stretching before us. Just think how
much reading we’ll be able to do then! So, here are the new novels I’m so
excited to see release in the coming month!
Hope in the Land
When Henry Edison turns up in
Lancaster County to survey farm women about their domestic contributions during
the 1930s, the last thing Amish housewife Gloria Grabill has time for is the
government agent’s unending questions. Gloria’s hands are already full with a
farm to run alongside her husband, a houseful of children, and an English neighbor, Minerva Swain, how has been
trying Gloria’s patience for forty years. Gloria’s oldest daughter, Polly,
wants nothing more than the traditional path of an Amish farmer’s wife, but
everything she does seems to push Thomas Coblentz further away. While the Great
Depression shadows the country in gloom, can Amish and English neighbors in Lancaster Country grasp the
goodness that will sustain hope?
