Hold It Gently: The Next Generation: Book Four of the Limberlost Legacy (Limberlost Series)

By Katee Maye

Ten years after the healing told in Hold It Gently, the next generation of the Limberlost is grown - and each of them is finding out, in their own way, what it costs, and what it is worth, to be called.

Terry O'More has his father's gift for preaching and none of his father's easy confidence - certain of his calling, and quietly afraid he hasn't yet earned the right to it. When a chance meeting at a pasture fence turns into a year of letters, and an old preacher's Tuesday-evening Bible study leads him toward one small, four-word phrase that finally settles the question, Terry discovers what the greatest missionary in history already knew: the right to serve was never something earned beforehand. It is only ever granted, the moment a willing heart stands up and tries.

Under that same wide Indiana sky, a whole family is coming into its own harvest. Flip Ammon and Celia O'More have spent a decade disguising love as bickering, until one of them finally grows tired of waiting for the other to catch up. Kittie Ammon - who has always heard more of the world than anyone gives her credit for - finds, in a quiet fiddler with a gift to match her own, the one person who has never once needed her to explain herself. Billy Sinton, the county's gentle traveling veterinarian, learns that the very wounds that once made him wild are exactly what taught his hands to heal. And Grandmother Kate, sharp-tongued, unrepentant, and determined to see every wedding through before the Lord calls her home, claims credit for love stories she had absolutely nothing to do with - right up until the one time she finally, gloriously, actually does.

Across one long, golden year of harvest suppers, secret songs, and one thoroughly unforgiven hen, Hold It Gently: The Next Generation continues the beloved Limberlost Legacy - the world first given to readers by Gene Stratton-Porter - with a story about family, calling, and the grace that was never reserved only for the ones who deserved it first.

A sweeping, faith-filled family saga for readers of Christian historical romance, multigenerational sagas, and anyone who has ever wondered whether they were truly good enough for the thing they most wanted to be used for.
