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!

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!

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!

this is a seriously good book. I couldn't put it down. This is the first book I've read by Lisa Sampson. It sure was a big introduction. She is an amazing author who makes the characters real for the reader.

Lisa Samsonis one of my MOST favoriteAuthors. Not only is "Fields of Gold" a wonderful book, the Series, "Shades of Eternity" is great. I love how she creates people of serious physical flaws and then brings along someone who sees their heart (rather than the flaw) and falls deeply in love with them. I love her other series, The Highlanders and The Abbey as well. I'm partial to Historicals, but I also like very much "The Moment I Saw You" and "The Church Ladies." I highly recommend this book as well as everything else she's written (that I know about. They're all keepers and re-readers for me. by Vondia Caruso

Fields of Gold was extremely good, I love how it picks up exactly where Indigo Waters left off, and goes on from there. My favorite characters by far is David Youngblood and Camille Poullson, and I love how they are brought together in these books!!
