When several members of Orchard Bend Farms are displaced, the estranged
King brother is called upon to return. Can those who founded the new Amish
community in Maine
SEASONS OF TOMORROW is book 4 in Ms. Woodsmall’s Amish Vines and
Orchards Series, and readers should read the previous books in this series
as they do not stand alone. They are: A Season for Tending, The Winnowing
Season, For Every Season, and SEASONS OF TOMORROW.
Books that have long series that you have to read in order are not
things I’m fans of, especially when six months or more pass between books. I like
to wait until they are all out to read them. I wasn’t able to do that with this series,
but I was able to quickly remember what happened prior and go from there.
There are four different stories going on in this book with five different
point of views. Stephen and Phoebe, Samuel and Rhoda, Jacob and Esther, and
Leah and Landon. Samuel, Rhoda, Jacob, Leah and Landon were point of view
characters. There are also other secondary characters so readers who get
confused with more than three or four characters might want to keep the
character list bookmarked so its handy (at the back of the book) to keep people
straight.
This book started out skim worthy, but about halfway through it caught
my interest and I read through to the end. I enjoyed the last half of the book
very much, raising my initial thoughts of “3 stars” up to 4 stars.
Amish
women’s fiction fans or fans of Cindy Woodsmall might enjoy this book.
4 stars. Available in ebook,
hardcover, audio, and paperback. 336 pages.
I received this book from the
publisher in exchange for an honest review.
