This a great read.It is book 3 of 3 of the Lake Emily series.

She is angry at herself, God and her family.She slowly recovers and realizes a whole community is there to support and help her. She sells her grandson her farm and he has to give up time with his wife and new baby son and Virginia to get all his farm work done and still has a bad crop and has to borrow money for next year. In this book several farm families lives are woven in and farming is not an easy living .It is a hard living, unlike other jobs you can put in long, long hours and if you do not get enough or too much rain your crop can be ruined through no fault of yours.

This story and it's characters are woven together beautifully.I could not put the book down until I finished it. I love this book.
