April 1 was the official release day for Hope in the Land. So all I’m saying here is “Yippee!” I’dve long wanted to write a Depression-era story, so this books holds a soft spot in my heart.
It’s available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Christian Book Distributors, and all the usual places where people like to buy books.
When Henry Edison turns up in Lancaster County to survey farm women about their domestic contributions during the 1930s, the last thing Amish housewife Gloria Grabill has time for is the government agent’s unending questions. Gloria’s hands are already full with a farm to run alongside her husband, a houseful of children, and an English neighbor, Minerva Swain, who has been trying Gloria’s patience for forty years. Gloria’s oldest daughter, Polly, wants nothing more than the traditional path of an Amish farmer’s wife, but everything she does seems to push Thomas Coblentz further away. While the Great Depression shadows the country in gloom, can Amish and English neighbors in Lancaster County grasp the goodness that will sustain hope?
