This Promised Land by Cathy Gohlke // Review

My Review: 

Ginny's plans to live out her dreams of moving to England are derailed with news of her brother's death and a surprise inheritance. She goes back to the place she left some many years ago to find the family farm at risk of losing it all, and her two nephews fighting different battles for survival. A story of prodigals come home, faith and family. 

A heartfelt and compelling story of family, Ginny wants to help and do right by her two nephews and their families, but she doesn't know how to make up the deficit in back taxes. Luke and his wife Bethany have worked the farm for years, caring for Harold in his last years, with his mood swings and erratic behavior. Mark shows up with his three children in tow, hoping that the farm can give them a fresh start. Arlo is a young girl who has seen too much in her short time on earth, fiercely protective of her siblings. 

A wonderful multi-layered novel of faith and family. Ginny finds hope and home in and unexpected place, forging bonds that run deeper than blood, through sacrifice, and commitment. I liked how this story used multiple points of view, and tells the story through multiple angles. A highly compelling, spiritually rich novel of hope, family, and coming home. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
