From Library Journal

Samson (Indigo Waters) takes up where she left off with the Youngblood family. David Youngblood, the Earl of Cannock, disappears into the Scottish moors after killing another man and is believed dead. His daughter, Elspeth, who inherited his harelip, is inconsolable. Miranda Wallace, a visitor to the manor, understands why Elspeth fears that no one else will love her; after all, Miranda has a port wine birthmark covering half of her face. Miranda accepts a temporary position as Elspeth's governess, even though Tobin Youngblood's arrival to claim the title tests her patience and her Christian beliefs. Tobin relegates Miranda and Elspeth to the background until a chance discovery shows him Miranda's hidden beauty. Samson's wonderfully descriptive voice makes this suitable for all collections, but the close tie to the first book limits this to collections that own it.

I just love Lisa Samson's writing. Each book only gets better. I can't say enough! The leading characters are human, they stubble, but always their faith gets them through. I feel my own faith grow with each novel I read of Lisa's.

This book follows a strong young woman who is inflicted with a birthmark on her face. This book teaches us that we need to look through the imperfections of people and see the person underneath. I found myself laughing, crying and rejoicing with these characters. I actually go through withdrawl after Im finished the book and can't wait for the next one! Start by reading "Indigo Waters" (book one in the series)and have "Fields of Gold" waiting by your side to start when you are finished Indigo. I promise you will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, January 13, 2000

At last, thoughtful writing with an engaging plot! And just when I thought Christian romance was doomed to rehash the same old story until the second coming. This book gripped my attention and I found myself involved with characters who are believable, multi-dimensional, and interesting! I love the inclusion of "misfit" people, unusual in the genre. These images were subtle but persistent in pointing to the theology of ourselves as maimed or deformed in our sinful nature. Bravo for a great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Waiting anxiously for Book 3, January 11, 2000

This review is from: Fields of Gold (Shades of Eternity Series #2) (Paperback)

Once again, the author, Lisa Samson, has written a book that captures and holds the reader's attention and, at the outset, leaves the reader yearning for more.

I applaud the author for boldly writing about real life trials. I tire so of the novels that portray the Christian life in a bubble. Ms. Samson challenges the reader to rise to the call of Christ to live "in the world but not of it".

All of the characters in Fields of Gold are complex and well developed, but my favorite is David Youngblood. After reading Indigo Waters, I felt sure that Mr. Youngblood would be a villian to the end. What a twist! Bravo, Lisa Samson, for writing yet another outstanding book!
