Hearts And Harvest

The Story

William has lost it all.   Once members of Detroit’s elite, the Berringer family lost everything in the financial crash of 1893. From a life of influence and privilege, they now work a potato patch alongside other destitute folk on borrowed land. William’s resentment toward his current situation—and God for allowing it—simmers barely beneath the surface.   Annabelle Lawson, convicted by her pastor’s admonishing words, begins delivering food and water to the workers on her father’s donated land. As she learns the stories of the people who work there, she becomes increasingly drawn to their plight. Especially that of the inscrutable William Berringer.   Can Annabelle and William overcome the stigma placed upon his family by a society that once embraced them? Will her parents remember their own meeting or forbid this budding romance altogether?   “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
