The Harvest of Grace

I just finished reading The Harvest of Grace by Cindy Woodsmall. It is the third book in the Ada's House Series. Though I had not read the first two novels, Woodsmall writes in a way that the reader still knows what is going on in the story. The characters were very well written and I enjoyed the type of issues that were dealt with in book. Sylvia has to go through a difficult time, guilty, and betrayed she moves on. I really appreciate how Woodsmall created a strong Amish character like Sylvia, it was refreshing.
The novel consists of many different stories intertwines, which was a bit complicated to sort out at first. There is an issue of forgiveness that made the book even better. Cara struggles with her past, but with God's help and patience, she was able to finally forgive.

Overall this was a good novel and an easy read. Woodsmall is an excellent author and she creates very real stories about Amish life.
