When the Meadow Blooms

By Ann H. Gabhart

Book Overview

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 sanatorium, 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.

Bestselling author Ann H. Gabhart explores the tender places within the human heart in this character-driven story of trusting God to turn our burdens into something beautiful.

When the Meadow Blooms

Ann H. Gabhart is among my favorite authors and was excited to have the opportunity to read her newest release, When the Meadow Blooms. This one is no different. As a widow with young children and recently lost her husband during a pandemic, I instantly felt an instant connection to Rose. I could understand her heartache and struggles as she tries to navigate life without her husband. Her story is one that made me want to keep reading and gave me inspiration and a send of hope and peace. Such a sweet and heartwarming story of love and faith. When the Meadow Blooms will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean historical romance. As always, I will be looking forward to more by Ann H Gabhart in the future. Love her books. I received a copy of When the Meadow Blooms from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

There's always hope

5 stars, There's always hope WHEN THE MEADOW BLOOMS by Ann H. Gabhart In this charming historical 1925 Kentucky fiction novel we find that even when your situation seems hopeless, there is always hope. Widow Rose Meadows and her two young, beloved daughters Calla and Sienna are separated because Rose is sent to a sanitarium to recover from TB and the girls are sent to an orphanage. Dirk Meadows is hideously scarred, inside and out, he has been a recluse for over 20 years. He offers up his personal sanctuary Meadowland for Rose and her daughters to seek refuge. My favorite characters were Calla and Sienna. They persevered where others might have abandoned all hope. Highly recommend it.
