"When she ran away as a young war bride, she was cut off from her family forever...or so she believed. Decades later, maybe the only way to move on is to go home. Ginny Pickering Boyden can't wait for her last day of work, when she'll be free to pursue a lifelong ambition through a master gardener apprenticeship. But an unexpected letter brings shocking news: Ginny has inherited her family's Christmas tree farm, a dream she'd long ago given up. Facing a past laced with memories and lies she's tried hard to bury, a furious nephew who thought the land would be his, and a failing farm with a mountain of debt, Ginny returns to New Scrivelsby, Virginia, determined to sell. But when her younger nephew, a Vietnam vet, appears with demons of his own and three young children in tow, Ginny isn't sure what to do. Too much of their story reminds Ginny of her own. She has little hope, however, that three generations of warring Pickerings can set aside their differences to restore all that's broken, both on the land and in their hearts"--

This is early in the year, and I have already found my second book that seems a likely candidate for my top five reads of the year! This Promised Land is an emotional story of loss: loss of hope, love, family, self-respect, identity, and dreams. It is also a story of redemption, forgiveness, and restoration. The story is populated by realistic characters, coping with situations that are unfortunately also realistic. The story points out that we all at some time in our life can be any one of the characters in the story of the prodigal son. It also points out that we don't have to remain in that role.
This Promised Land is very well-written. Cathy Gohlke is a gifted writer who balances emotions not leaving her readers without hope as her characters tackle weighty life circumstances. She points the characters toward a loving God in a winsome way. She has done just that in this story, making it easy for readers to put themselves in her characters' places, and to put the lessons the characters learn to use in their own lives. I most highly recommend This Promised Land and am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Tyndale via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
