It's the dawn of a new season in Charlotte Stevenson's life.
Charlotte Stevenson's world is turned upside-down by the death of her daughter, Denise, whose three children are now coming to Nebraska to live on Heather Creek Farm. Sam is fiercely protective of his younger siblings; Emily desperately misses her friends; and young Christopher, a sweet soul, just wants to fit in. While Charlotte helps the grandchildren she barely knows adjust to their new life, she also wrestles with her own grief. What if she makes the same mistakes she made with Denise? Is this her chance to make things right? The miracle of new life, along with God's healing touch, reminds all of them that it's always darkest just before the dawn.

I really enjoyed Before the Dawn. I read it in just 2 hours. I love a great story about family.
I loved the farm life that is so vividly described in this book.
I could not put the book down until I finished the last page. This is such a heartwarming story of hope and family.
I gave this book 5 stars and I recommend it to those how like a fast Christian read.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.
As tenuous family bonds threaten to break apart, a mystery on the farm might be the one thing that can restore the Stevensons' hope for the harvest.
Harvest at Heather Creek Farm is an exciting time, but the children don't seem to be getting into the spirit. Emily is struggling with farm life, Christopher spends most of his time alone, and Sam is failing school. Charlotte is determined not to make the same mistakes she did with her own kids, but how can she get her grandchildren back on track?
Meanwhile, the vegetable garden is uprooted one night. Who could have done such a thing? Charlotte sets out to uncover the truth, and as the kids pull together to find answers, this cobbled-together family learns more about one another and the love that binds them together.

I did not enjoy this book at all. I was so sad because I LOVED the first book Before the Dawn. This one you could tell was not written by the same author. It was not well written at all.
I hate to say it ladies but you know me if it is not worth you spending your money on I will tell you. Save your money for another book worth reading.
I do not recommend this book.
