review 1: Phenomenal. Excellent writing, powerful message, a beautiful Christian book. I was deeply saddened to learn when I looked for a follow-up that the precious author and her son were killed in a car accident not too long I believe after the book was published. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I can tell easily by the beauty of her book what a loving, special woman Leisha Kelly was. I have prayed for her family, and hope others will as well. And that countless people will be as blessed by this book as I was.
review 2: This is a very difficult reveiw to write. At the beginning, I liked this book with an embittered young widow with her wide eyed six year old eternal optimist daughter. Having lost her husband to a train accident and her son to the Grear Fl... moreu epidemic of 1917, Leah and her daughter go to her husband's aunt's boardinghouse for temporary shelter and to begin a new life. There was a part early on in this book that I adored and readig it brought back many happy memories of picking apples, making applesauce, apple butter and apple jelly with my mother. I quit on page 150! The religious part of the book came over like a steam roller. I would have enjoyed this book and probably given it a four star review if it all had been subtle but I think anyone of a different, even slightly different faith would shrink from this book. less
