Book Description:
If any place on God's earth was designed to help one heal, it is Meadowland.
Surely here, at her brother-in-law's Kentucky farm, Rose and her daughters can
recover from the events of the recent past--the loss of her husband during the
1918 influenza epidemic, her struggle with tuberculosis that required a stay at
a sanatorium, and her girls' experience in an orphanage during her illness. At
Meadowland, hope blooms as their past troubles become rich soil in which their
faith can grow.
Dirk Meadows may have opened his home to his late brother's widow and her
girls, but he keeps his heart tightly closed. The roots of his pain run deep,
and the evidence of it is written across his face. Badly scarred by a fire and
abandoned by the woman he loved, Dirk fiercely guards his heart from being hurt
again. But it may be that his visitors will bring light back into his world and
unlock the secret to true healing.
My Thoughts:
I so connected with Rose's daughter Sienna. What a delightful child! I loved
how she saw the wonder in everything. Calla, too. She was so conscientious
and caring. As I read along and found out more about Meadowland, I wanted to
live there. Gabhart took the heartbreak and suffering of Rose and Dirk and created
a beautiful story of healing and hope, spun with a bit of mystery. If you enjoy
a good story driven by strong characters with an amazing setting and a
satisfying ending, you'll want to read Where the Meadow Blooms. I received a
complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are
completely my own.
