I did not want to put this book down. This author writes with depth that could stand up against any secular author, but when I read her books I come away feeling peaceful, which I cannot say about most secular authors. I loved the part where Aunt Batty explains that she could not live w/o books. As a family who have moved across the country a few times, with more boxes of books than most small libraries, Austin hit the heart of at least some of her readers.
Good characters and a few good story lines, branching generations, so suitable for those who like historical and modern fiction, far more than "just" a love story.

Wonderful book! It's full of emotional depth and a bit of mystery about the characters to keep you guessing.

This story is wonderful and a great book to read. I recently saw it on tv as it was also made into a movie with Jason Gedrick playing Gabe. Heartwarming book and movie.

This captivating tale form the best-selling author of Eve's Dauthers has it all- top-notch writing, intrigue, romance, humor, and spiritual truths about the faithfulness of God.

It's 1931 and Eliza Wyatt is a widow with three young children. She faces mounting debts and the survival of her family is all up to her. They have a chance if she can keep the family orchard afloat, but she has no idea how to run it alone. And th ebank is about to foreclose on the mortgage. When Gabe Harper appears at her doorstep Eliza guesses he's no different than teh other men looking for work in exchange for shelter and a hot meal. Her children believe Gabe is an angel sent to help them, but Eliza comes to suspect he may be her brother-in-law who supposedly died in the war and whose name is on the title to the orchard.

Austin elevates Christian historical fiction to new levels, exploring family relationships with integrity and sensitivity.

Lynn Austin really knows how to draw a reader in to a story. Hidden Places is a great novel and is up to the high standard I've come to expect from Ms. Austin.
