FIELDS OF GRACE / Review
From the Publisher:
With their eldest son nearly to the age when he will be drafted into military service, Reinhardt and Lillian Vogt decide to immigrate to America, the land of liberty, with their three sons and Reinhardt’s adopted brother, Eli. But when tragedy strikes during the voyage, Lillian and Eli are forced into an agreement neither desires. Determined to fulfill his obligation to Reinhardt, Eli plans to see Lillian and her sons safely settled on their Kansas homestead–and he’s equally determined that the boys will be reared in the Mennonite faith. What he doesn’t expect is his growing affection for Lillian–and the deep desire to be part of a family.
My Review:
I loved everything about this book.
It was inspirational, heartwarming,
touching, interesting, and beautifully written.
Vogel paints a vivid portrait of the Mennonite exodus from Russia to the
heartland of the US. Lillian and Eli won a place in my heart.
This “makes you feel good” story, is a winner.
I now look forward to reading all her other books.
Thanks so much to Bethany House
for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
