Synopsis: As the oldest child in an impoverished Amish family, Lydia Lee knows little more of life beyond hard work, sacrifice and extreme hunger. Yet, even as a young girl she strives to be content with all God has provided.
Against the backdrop of the Great Depression, Lydia’s childhood unfolds as her family struggles to survive, finding strength from their Amish faith. But, when tragedy strikes, that very faith is tested beyond what any child should have to endure. When all hope seems lost, Lydia is reminded that all things have seasons.
The spring of her life has been spent planting prayers in the soil of sadness and heartache. Will she see a summer of true love? Will there be a harvest of happiness?
Review: The author is the granddaughter of Lydia Lee, the main character of Seasons. The storyline was interesting and it was a quick read. My only complaint is that it ended much too soon and rather abruptly.
I've been in the mood to read fluff lately, but this book surprised me. It's not really a feel-good fluffy read although it's not meant to bring a person down either. It is amazing what some people have endured.
