Publisher Description
The challenges and rewards of listening to your heart…
"In the dimness of the early morning I could see field after neighborhood field as I let my gaze wander around me. First there was ours—I supposed I would always think of the farm as ours—Grandpa's, Uncle Charlie's and mine, though in truth it really was just mine now. Guess that was one of the reasons I was whistling. Just yesterday Grandpa and Uncle Charlie had signed all the official papers to make the farm mine—really and legally mine. Joshua Chadwick Jones they read, clear as could be. The full impact had yet to hit me. But I was excited. Really excited. I mean, what other fella my age had a farm his own, title clear and paid for?"
"I sobered down a bit. It was a big responsibility. I mean, I was the one who had to make the farm bring forth now. Had to support Grandpa and Uncle Charlie and myself...And adding to the challenge was a desire for a family of my own."
Josh is in a quandary. Matilda is vivacious and lovely; Mary is sweet and supportive. And they won't remain single for very long. But how is he to go about courting someone he sees in his kitchen nearly every day? And more importantly, whom does he truly love?

"The winding up of the series about Josh Jones and his family. This one is a bittersweet story with the story of Josh finding his love and starting a family and their experiences during the depression and dustbowl years. Lots of good truths shared in this series that spans a man's teens and 20's. "

" Josh who newly acquired his family's farm, has no idea what his future holds. Many surprises a long the way, some good and some so very sad. It is a great book about a family who sticks together through thick and thin, and most of all stays true their faith in God. "
