A Day on the Farm

by Allison Romney

This true story chronicles life on a sheep and alpaca farm through a season of dramatic change. From the deepest, darkest, coldest days of a severe Midwestern winter to the warm summer days that bring unexpected visitors, you can experience the real-life happenings as told by a retired stockbroker who never dreamed she suddenly would be alone on a farm. The shocking reason her life changed becomes the start of an incredible faith journey where she learns firsthand about God’s promises, His faithfulness and the miracles He provides. Meet the animals, the knitting ladies who jump in to help, and the people who step forward to unselfishly offer hope in what seems to be a hopeless situation. Follow the journey that sent a riptide through a small town but ended up pulling a community together. Learn about the ultimate hope that God provides with forgiveness and victory over evil in today’s world through His Son, Jesus Christ, and the amazing power of the Holy Spirit to make the impossible become real.

I had the privilege of meeting the author about a month ago when she came to my place of work. She was a lovely and interesting woman so when she began to tell me her story and mentioned she actually wrote a book about the journey, I knew I wanted to read it. She left me a copy before she left, and this book is wonderful. It’s an uplifting story, and a beautiful afternoon read. Left me with lots to consider about my own journey.

This book gave me some insight on sheep farming but more importantly finding hope and how to forgive.

Well written and full of encouragement

I never dreamed this book would go where it did. This is a book about one woman's journey in faith that is an example of the power of God in a very difficult situation. I learned and felt so much reading this book, it will stay with me and effect how I handle difficult situations in the future. I recommend this book for anyone who has ever faced disappointment and found the need to turn to God for help. This book would be great for a group study. I read 80% of this book in the first sitting. A very real look into faith and one woman's response to a difficult time.
