When the meadow blooms / Ann H. Gabhart.

Gabhart, Ann H., 1947- (author.).

Summary:

"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 sanitarium, 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."-- Provided by publisher.

When the Meadow Blooms

Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.

Rose Meadows is desperate to reunite with her daughters after tuberculosis kept them apart for two years, but having no home and no husband in 1925 in Kentucky leaves her only one choice. When his estranged late brother's family appeals to him for help, Dirk Meadows agrees to give Rose and her children a place in his home but not in his heart. The devastation of lost love and a terrible accident scarred him in more ways than one. But the compassionate presence of Rose and the girls soon reveals a new magic within Dirk's Meadowland farm and a future together. In her latest Kentucky-set novel, Gabhart tells a story about finding forgiveness, love, and a home where you least expect it. Themes of grace in adversity and Christian faith through prayer and scripture are prominent, with emphasis on experiencing spirituality within nature. Gabhart shines in crafting protagonists who exude quiet strength and optimism in search of wholeness. With its pastoral setting and reflective characters, this cozy read explores the uncertainty present in every new beginning.
