Sweet September (Home to Heather Creek, Book 2)
I’ve since had the opportunity to read both Sweet September
I enjoy reading series because I like to get to know the characters beyond just one book. They become friends, and I don’t like to leave them. Still, I don’t think I’ve ever read a series written by different authors, and I was a little wary of doing so because I wasn’t convinced the characters would be consistent. However, Carolyn Aarsen and Tricia Goyer pulled it off.
Aarsen first brings us into the lives of Charlotte Stevenson and her teenage grandchildren, Sam, Emily & Christopher. The children come to live with Charlotte and her husband Bob after their mother dies in an automobile accident. Charlotte hardly knows her grandchildren, who are not thrilled to leave California behind for a Nebraska farm. Charlotte, afraid of getting it wrong (her daughter, Denise, had run away from home at 18), spends the spring feeling her way through raising three practical strangers.
Goyer’s book picks up the story in September, as the harvest is just beginning. Although Charlotte, Bob and the children are starting to feel more comfortable together, they still have a lot to learn about being a family. Generational struggles, a mystery, and grief play out in this story that will warm your heart and make you appreciate your family.
While the books are part of a series, they stand alone well. I have a copy of Sweet September
