"Season of Hope" by Lisa Jordan ... and a GIVEAWAY!

The story behind the story...

When my Lakeside series was coming to an end, I really loved the fictional town of Shelby Lake that I had created and wasn't ready to leave behind. However, I needed a fresh series based in that area. I was inspired by my childhood of growing up down the road from my grandparents' dairy farm and their lives as farmers. Also, I'm so blessed by their spiritual legacy. So I created the Holland family--a family of dairy farmers who need to find hope in the heartache. I wanted to honor farmers, who are the backbones of America. While I was doing some research, I learned about a program that helps veterans with disabilities to learn how to farm in order to start their own small businesses. As a former Marine, wife, I've always had a heart for our military. In Season of Hope, Jake wants to create a fatigues-to-farming program that will help veterans with disabilities to learn how to start their own farms. And with that idea, I needed to give him obstacles, and the plot was born.

  1. My great aunt and great uncle had a dairy farm in Arkansas. I remember visiting there as a child. It was very fascinating and unbelieveable how teamwork plays a major role everyday on a farm. Your book sounds very interesting and I love how you came up with pay it forward idea.

  7. I love the idea of helping veterans with a disability, and I was raised in a rural area. I can remember running barefoot after my dad had run the disc harrow in the fields.
