by
Debby Mayne


ABOUT THE BOOK
Widow Bethany Hanahan is trying in vain to fill an empty heart and an empty nest. The result is a home filled to the brim, but something is still missing. That’s when her new gardening club friends come to the rescue, encouraging her to let go of the past as well as the present clutter –emotional, spiritual, and physical. It’s not long before Bethany is finding friends, not bargains, to fill her days. But has her life become too full for someone like Pete Sprockett, a childhood friend, for whom her romantic feelings are beginning to bloom? Join the quirky, loving community of Bloomfield as they do what they do best – poke their well-meaning noses in and intervene in times of need –in author Debby Mayne’s second novel in what has become a five book series about a community where life is simple and love is real.

A Season for Tending by Cindy Woodsmall

A Season for Tending
by Cindy Woodsmall
 
A Season for Tending (Amish Vines and Orchards Series #1)
 
First book in the Amish Vines and Orchards series
 
***** 5 Stars Out of 5 *****
 
Cindy Woodsmall's books are always a satisfying read and this is no exception!  Stories of the Amish and fiction novels concerning them are quite popular today. This book, however, gives a new twist and interesting story as it addresses situations atypical of the Amish.
 
Rhoda wants to tend her garden and when the community casts shadows on how she spends her time, she chooses her work over the favor of her community. Through a freak accident, she meets someone who needs her skills. This book addresses gender issues, handling adversity and hope in the mist of despair and isolation.
 
I'll pleased this is the first book of a series. That means more of Cindy's stories are to come!
