Waiting Season

A new year brings new challenges … and the chance to make a dream come true. Melinda hopes to spend January by the fireplace, paging through the seed catalogs’ promises of spring, while the snow drifts outside her cozy farmhouse. After all, the slower pace of rural life was one of the reasons she’d left the city behind. Instead, she must face her fears when the worst of winter’s threats surround her door. Braving blizzards to care for her animals, thawing her acreage’s water lines, and anxiously watching over the pregnant sheep in her barn fill her shorter days and longer nights. She trudges on because of Horace’s offer: He’ll sell her the farm in the spring if she still wants to stay. But as winter tightens its grip on the heartland, Melinda’s biggest tests are still to come. When a series of events threatens to break her heart and shatter her hopes, can she find the courage to see the season through? Fourth in a series. Large print edition Font is 16pt Georgia.
