Wonderful, wonderful story set in 1930 where everyone is battling the great depression. The story is of 3 strangers who help each other get through some very difficult times--a young, widowed mother of 3 children trying to save her deceased husbands orchard, an older aunt full of great Godly wisdom, & a starving hobo who is seen as an answer to the aunt's prayer for an Angel to help them (his name is Gabriel). The characters are very real, the various struggles are also very real & the book is peppered with wonderful little nuggets of Godly wisdom. I have read most of Lynn Austin's books & as of now this is my favorite.
