Fields of Bounty (Leah's Garden)

They must set aside their own plans and rely on their faith to bring their true destiny to light. Lilac Nielsen's dream has come true: handsome young Reverend Ethan Pritchard has finally noticed her. Yet she must balance this new courtship with the pursuit of another dream--the publication of her artwork in a New York paper. She has secretly been submitting a series of drawings under a pen name, and if anyone traces the drawings back to her and finds out where Lilac and her sisters settled, the entire Nielsen family could be in danger. As their family farm expands and Lilac's relationship with the reverend grows, it's a time of new beginnings. But when a family crisis back in Ohio shakes the Nielsen sisters, can they continue to build the new life they've begun in Nebraska? And will Lilac be prepared for what God has in store for her future?&#9; "A tender story. I know my readers will enjoy these stories and look forward to the books yet to come."<

I loved reading  this story and how it illustrates grace and a multitude of faith as we follow a family whose sisters are close. They help each other on the farm, with children and give emotional support when needed. I loved watching the town grow from the beginning  stages and  blossomed over time. The small town feeling is evident as the townspeople help each other out and encourage each other when they face tragedy. 

It was exciting to see Lilac become more confident as her drawings were a hit with a newspaper. I could picture the way she brought the town to life with her  tender sketching of a picnic, a family sitting on the porch or a look between sweethearts. It all comes together to bring life to the story. Lilac struggles with a decision that could change her life. Her prayers lead her to be strong as she decides her future. 

The other sisters have trials as well but through each stumbling block, they grow closer. It is a beautiful story that shows how important family is and the  sacrifices  made to keep food on the table. Their faith is evident in every decision made and I liked how we watch them grow spiritually. 

I need to mention Ethan who is the preacher for two towns. His heart for God's work is evident as he wants to help start new churches in the  area. It will come at a cost when the woman he falls in love with must decide if she wants to be a preacher's wife. It is hard work and there is little time for yourselves as you take care of the congregations needs. I admired Ethan and how he wanted to follow in his father and  brothers footsteps. There is a little plot twist when jealousy and bitterness makes someone bring false claims against Ethan. 

I enjoyed reading how God worked in many lives in the  book and brought joy to many. It was fun to watch a town start from the beginning and work together to make it a place where people want to put down roots. I adored the sisters and how they helped others and shared  in celebrations when a wedding or the  birth of a baby happened. It is a simple life that is filled with promise and God who brings  unity when a lie tries to ruin someone's reputation. 

As Lilac and her sisters follow God's direction for their lives they realize how important it is to follow His path for their future. It is okay to say no to something when you know it is not where God wants you. It is a journey where love, dreams, faith and family come together to find their path to happiness. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

Following God's Plan

walmart.com

Even though this was the first in the series that I've read, it was enjoyable. There were lots of characters to learn and I was a little confused at first, so I recommend reading the first two before this one if possible. The characters were likable and I feel they could be friends of mine if given time and space. The story took place in Salton, Nebraska in the year 1867. The Nielsen family was very close and had to rely on each other through struggling finances, illness and everyday occurrences. Lilac had always had a passion and talent for drawing. When she submitted some of her drawings to a newspaper in New York, they liked them and offered her money for each one on a continuing basis. Being female she had to use her father's initials and have them sent by her brother for them to even be considered for publication. 
They also owned a boardinghouse which supplied employment for some of the locals. Lilac and her sisters had a farm to run that kept them busy. Two of the sisters were married and Lark and Lilac were not. Their traveling preacher got caught up in some untrue rumors which caused a split in their community. Things looked bleak. All the character's reliance on God was refreshing, even when things didn't seem to go their way. I was totally surprised and blown away with the ending of the book but still enjoyed the overall story
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through Celebrate Lit but was not required to write a review positive or otherwise.

1867 Nebraska

“And will Lilac be prepared for what God has in store for her future?” the back jacket states in Lauraine Snelling's advanced reader copy of Fields of Bounty.

~ What ~
The third book in the Leah's Garden series, this three-hundred-and-twenty-page paperback targets those interested in a historical romance involving an up-and-coming artist who trusts in God as she courts a pastor. With the use of the slang word drat, topics of illness, physical abuse, and death may not be appropriate for immature readers. The book is written with Kiersti Giron.

Set in Nebraska in the mid-1800s, this ongoing tale about four sisters continues with the youngest, Lilac, who loves to draw and is infatuated with the small town's pastor. When Ethan asks to court her, she is thrilled but too busy to get to know him and wary that he may not approve of her artwork publications in a newspaper.

~ Why ~
Reading about life in America a hundred-and-fifty years ago has always interested me, and this one is well described. I liked the hometown feeling of the characters and how they continually supported and helped each other while seeking the Almighty for answers. Adding the many written-out Bible verses, hymns, and prayers was thoughtful. I appreciated the ending.

~ Why Not ~
Those who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ may not like this story of how trusting God is pertinent to a happy life. Since I did not read the two prior books in the series, I had no clue who was who and was confused by the plethora of characters including their named pets.

~ Wish ~
I hope the final copy includes a list of characters as it would help readers. It would have been ideal to add the eternal plan of salvation, but it may have been in a prior book. I prefer all pronouns of God to be capitalized for reverence.

~ Want ~
If you read the prior books in the series, you may enjoy this one that is updated with old and introduces new characters as they learn to trust in God, but you may get confused with some of the distractions.
