Ah, Sweet September Comes to a Close

One of my favorite seasons is Fall. With all the multi-colored leaves and the brisk air, it gives me an extra bounce in my step. And today is officially the first day of Fall.

So, Sweet September is not only a fabulous month but it's the title of Tricia Goyer's latest book. You remember Tricia don't you? She's the author of Generation Next Parenting that I reviewed a few months ago.

Sweet September is Book #2 in the Home to Heather Creek series and it's a contemporary novel. This is very cool because many of Tricia's books are historical. This one mixes it up a bit with some historical references, but a contemporary setting.

Here's a snippet…

Harvest time at Heather Creek Farm is an  Ah, Sweet September Comes to a Closeexciting time, but the kids don't seem to be getting into the spirit. One day while he's wandering through the fields, Christopher stumbles across an old piece of metal buried in the ground. He doesn't know what it is, but he hides it in the shed.

That night, the garden by the house is uprooted. Who could have done such a thing? Charlotte is determined to find out, but is distracted when she gets news that Sam is failing school. The sullen teen is indifferent and won't study. He starts spending a lot of time with Pete. Though she loves her son dearly, Pete never finished high school, and Charlotte is afraid he'll encourage Sam to do the same. How can she help him get back on track?

A gripping story that examines the Stevenson family's history as well as its shaky future, Sweet September will bring you deeper into the loving community of Bedford and the deep ties of love that bind this broken family together. As they forge new connections, you'll be entertained, inspired, and reminded that God's grace can make all things new.

Not only is this a fascinating read, but I've got a copy of the book to give away this week. And Tricia is holding a blog tour contest. Would you like to be the lucky winner?
