The Farmer Risks It All

Farmers of Goodrich County

by Sharon A. Mitchell

She gave up everything that mattered. He lost all he’d ever believed in.

A lot changed for Emma, going from the spoiled princess of doting parents and a promising career, to caregiver for her mother physically, emotionally, and financially.

Gabe’s life was one of responsibility, the solitary child of a single mom. On her death he learned of the brother he never knew existed. Was it worth packing up and going in search of the only family he had left?

Leaving the warmth of Texas behind, he drove north and east into cold like he’d never experienced. Blizzards, then plowing into a snowbank.

Hard on his man card to be rescued by a woman - a gorgeous young woman unimpressed with his ability to look after himself, and willing to share her views about him with the locals.

So much for keeping a low profile and checking out the situation before deciding whether to announce his presence to an unknown brother.

At every turn, there was Emma. An unlikely pair, an impossible pair. And yet…

Reviews

[Marguerite Priest · Rating 5 out of 5]

Characters who become real and beloved!

During this story I realized how much Blair resembles my youngest son and much I relate to both Becca and Emma. All of these people are realistic and relatable. This is story telling as high art!

[Linda Kaskow]

A very well written and relatable book. Lots of twists and turns in the plot, just when one thinks life is going smoothly …..!

[Anna B · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sharon has a way of writing the absolute best characters. Despite their insecurities and struggles each one has depth and what I like best in a good book, growth. There was a little too much backstory at the beginning of the book but it was well worth the read.
It was so good to see Emma get her story and give us a good look at who she really is. Her journey to confidence wasn’t easy but she persevered.
After his mother dies Gabe shows up in Goodrich County to fulfill a request. For years it was just the two of them. Is it possible he might find love and a new family?
He is the perfect man for Emma, patient, gentle, and able to see through her mask. Will she let down her walls and take a chance on love?
This is a great book to soak up some sun with.
