wonderful, cozy story

i loved this book, it combines everything. a beautiful, close family, a mother's strong faith that upholds the whole house, even the whole village. i loved how it shows that God always has the answer to our problems, He is always capable to provide what we need, in the best way. but sometimes, not in the way we expect Him to. the wisdom of this little book is priceless.

great

Give me more

This is one of the first books by Oke I have ever read and I loved it, I would say read it right away.

Enjoyable, Bittersweet, Thought-provoking

I fell in love with Julia Harrigan and her family as they fight to save the town they love. Though they end up leaving the now-ghost town of Calder Springs, it is evident that they stayed as long as they were needed to stay, and learned the lessons and had the experiences God had for them there. Each new phase of their adventure in the dying town teaches them more about faith in God and being a witness...as well as introduces them to some interesting characters! The ending was bittersweet in a way, but also very encouraging. I think it's one of my favorite books!

Wonderful book with winsome characters

This is a wonderful book that I couldn't put down! Janette Oke is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. The many different character's she brings to life are each memorable and touching as they go in and out of the boarding house. Each ones visit is like a story within a story. This book is very engaging as we fall in love with John, Julia and their twin daughters and hope that they can save their town! I would highly recommend it.
