An emotional but heartwarming addition
I love the feeling of knowing this family story from the beginning of their move to the simpler life. Time moves on new challenges arrive. Some are happy and some quite tough. Children grow older and become more responsible with new dreams and aspirations. There were some personal reasons why this book was especially meaningful to me, but sharing why would be too big a spoiler.

Realistic & authentic family settling into homesteading
The Wildflower Valley series has been one of the most satisfying series on family life I have ever read.
It is full of moments of anxiety, stress, hard work, hard decisions, surprises & shocks, laughs & tears, plus love, the glue which permeates this family’s life.
