The Bobtails and the Cousins by Arthur Yeomans

 

Late 1800s Vermont. The kids are adjusting and loving their new life on the farm. More changes come along and three sets of cousins families come to visit. Each group is different in their circumstances and outlook on life, so it makes it interesting as the lessons continue with each person as they come along. Some don't like it at first but there's so much to do here. Very believable characters who work and play hard. Highly recommended for kids and adults. Should be considered among the classics, especially for kids...add this series to your shelves!

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

The Bobtails Meet The Preacher's Kid by Arthur Yeomans

 

Fabulous series. These are the kind of books that I want to read.
The kids are orphaned, and it's decided by their family that their strict widowed Aunt will take them in as she has a cheese farm and has the room and the work for them. Common sense, down to earth, and I loved it. I'm a fan of Grace Livingston Hill books, with the life lessons here it reminded me somewhat of her style of story. In this book there are lessons about everything you do on a dairy farm, and life lessons as they all work through this big change in their lives. Good Christian lessons throughout. Their Aunt believes in showing them what to do and expecting them to do it well and quickly. Even the smallest toddler was given a job. In addition, wonderful way to bring up the kids with nurturing routines like daily family reading and play time. Excellent for kids and adults alike. I can't speak highly enough of this series.

Fields of Bounty by Lauraine Snelling

 

So good to spend time with these people again. They feel like family. All the homey feelings of a farm, a small growing town and industrious sisters with caring brothers who help from back home. Relationships and hard work with the rhythm of living. Marriages and babies in the air. Deep hurts healed with prayer and love from each other as they look for God's plans in their lives, using the gifts and talents that He gave them. I'm never ready for these stories to end; I'm looking forward to the next.

The Farmer's Bride Collection - 6 Romances Spring from Hearts, Home, and Harvest

by Kimberley Comeaux, Susan Downs, JoAnn A. Grote, Ellen Edwards Kennedy, Debby Mayne, DiAnn Mills

Christian Historical Fiction

Interesting mix of stories as varied as areas and types of farming. Strong people trying to make it on their own, learning how much Christian faith means in their lives. A man who is wounded and found, single parents hoping to adopt from an Orphan train, a relocating sister who learns from a neighbor that she has a nephew to raise, a Romeo and Juliet situation devised by caring fathers, a woman who loses her father unexpectedly and has to learn how to run a business, and a young woman who marries her best friend but doesn’t love him. Excellent enforcement of Christian values. I just wished that each story had been longer!

From This Day Forward by Lauraine Snelling

Just like coming home. A place to belong, a place to wrap around you. There’s something to be said about a series and writer that makes you want to keep coming back to see what’s going on with the town and characters in the books. And it’s written so that you can clearly picture yourself there right away. You feel as though you live there and know each and every person. Ingeborg is like your own relative. This, as the others in the series, is written in a part of time and way of life that is similar to how I grew up. We’re all so different, and yet the same.

It’s great that Ingeborg is still a pillar of the Red River Valley community and going strong hunting, fishing and driving farm machinery.

This is a romance centered around Deborah, an Assistant at the hospital, and Toby Valders. They have a history in the series, and are now grown and ready for their own romance.  She has an opportunity to leave and study to further her position at the hospital. Will it do Toby good to have her go away for awhile? She’s loved him for a long time, but he takes her for granted. Maybe it will shake him up a little bit. Or perhaps she should just move on. Always prayerfully centered, another story of life’s normalcies and life’s struggles.

Revisit Old Friends in Blessing in This Heartwarming Series Conclusion

Deborah MacCallister, head nurse at the Blessing hospital, has loved Toby Valders since her school days, but she's had enough of their on-again, off-again relationship. Toby truly cares for Deborah, but he's never felt like he could commit to marriage or a family.

When Anton Genddarm, the new schoolteacher, comes to town, the young women of Blessing see a chance to force Toby's hand with a little strategic matchmaking. But real sparks fly between Deborah and Anton, and she finds herself in an even more complicated situation. The attention she gets from Anton makes Toby do some serious soul-searching, but is it too late?

Then Deborah receives an invitation to study the latest advances in nursing at a hospital in Chicago, and she faces a hard choice. To leave or stay? Should she give up on the dream of Toby and accept the interest of Anton?
