Debby Mayne's "Sunshine Harvest" stands out in this anthology with a tale of deeply inspirational romance. She has painted a colorful backdrop with the citrus groves, migrant workers and tropical Florida locale. Her heroine takes us through a gamut of emotions after her father dies and she must summon the strength to hold his dream together while dealing with his loss. But what I liked best about this story was the hero! Daniel is a sensitive, intelligent, spiritual leading man, and I did some swooning along with Anna as I got to know him. Debby Mayne writes with a very visual stroke; "Sunshine Harvest" would make a stunning and romantic movie!

In the fourth novella of the Harvest Home Anthology, talented author, Janet Spaeth, weaves an emotional romance filled with love for God, family, and the Dakota Territory of 1879. ONLY BELIEVE shows the hard work and faith of two people, Catherine and Micah, who fall in love in the midst of trials they both face as they harvest the wheat crop. Woven into the story are touches of the humorous talent of this endearing author. Janet uses the embroidery of the bible verse, `Be not afraid, only believe,'(Mark 5:36), as a memorable setting, along with that of the beautiful prairie of the Dakota Territory, for this wonderful, heartwarming harvest story of true love. I could not put down the Harvest Home Anthology from Barbour until I finished Janet Spaeth's novella, ONLY BELIEVE. I know you will enjoy Catherine and Micah's love story as much as I did. And that like me, you will remember to -- be not afraid and only believe -- for miracles in your life.

A wonderfully heartwarming story about how God provides bountifully and often unpredictably for the needs of those who have faith in Him. The main characters are genuinely kind and caring. I'd like to read more about them!

A very well-written decent story for everyone of any age. It was easy to read and to relax with. I would recommend this story to everyone. It takes you back to days of the American Settlers when times were simple. It is refreshing to read and to escape the confusing, busy, and complicated days of today.

Having just received my copy of HARVEST HOME, I started reading the first story in this newest Inspirational Anthology from Barbour Publishing. HARVEST OF LOVE by author Janet Lee Barton, is filled with characters the reader will love. Liddy and Cal's sweet romance will remain in your mind for years to come. Janet Lee Barton has captured the art of creating memorable and real characters whose faith and perseverance will touch your heart. Liddy's best friend, Emma, will remind you of your own best friend or sister. Trust me! A wonderful story!

I really enjoyed this story. Ms. Barton writes so well that you begin to really feel for the characters in this story. I look forward to reading more of her stories. Keep up the great work, Ms. Barton. Cheri Thalheimer

Harvest Home is a great collection for those with hope in their hearts. Highly engaging stories of hope, love, and triumph are set beautifully against a harvest scene, which unites thstories. I especially enjoyed The Applesauce War, which reminded me of L.M. Montgomery and the Anne of Green Gables series. I hope to see more works from the writer, Ellen Edwards Kennedy, soon. I understand she has a mystery entitled "Irregardless of Murder" coming out soon. I hope to recieve the one of the first copies!

I am awaiting my autographed copy of Harvest Home. I was fortunate enough to get to read The Applesause War before it even reached the publisher. It's fantastic and I count myself blessed to have gotten to read it first! :-) I promise you it's a page turner and you'll be anxious to see if Verity and Pete can get past their stubborn old fathers and their make believe feud that becomes real. The tongue may be small, but it's hard to hold. Verity and Pete's fathers say some things they come to regret. Love's helping hand was costly. I can't wait to read the other stories as soon as my copy arrives!!!

I loved reading The Applesause War!!! It was fantastic and had me wondering if Verity and Pete would ever find happily ever after with their feuding fathers. I guarantee, it's a page turner!!!

I enjoyed reading this book so much. It takes you back to a to a time in your life when everthing was good. People had thier problems but they looked at they with faith and found an answer. Wonderful reading.
