Heart’s
Journey Blurb

Julia goes from upper-class Boston to an Iowa farm. What could possibly go wrong?
In
June, 1880, newlyweds Jacob and Julia go to Iowa to fulfill Jacob’s dream of
having his own farm. Their original plans fall apart when they get there, and
Jacob wonders, will he be able to keep the promise he made to Julia and her
family?
Jacob
and Julia spend much time in prayer, and God provides a better plan. Now,
upper-class Julia allows herself to consider her role. She’s never been in a
kitchen, let alone on a farm. How will she manage their home?
After
many mishaps, Julia asks a neighbor for help, and gains confidence as she
learns to cook, garden and handle other household duties. Jacob and Julia grow
closer, but a personal loss for Julia triggers a disagreement leading to
estrangement and deeper issues Jacob must confront. Can their faith in God
bring forgiveness and reconciliation?
Linda lives in west central Ohio with her husband, daughters, grandson, two cats and a dog. She earned a degree in psychology from Anderson University where she learned the voices in her head were actually characters from stories waiting to be told.
Linda got her start
writing columns and a middle grade serial for the South Charleston Spectator. A
retired librarian, she now enjoys being a fulltime author in her home office,
despite interruptions from family members and pets.
