After her father’s accident, Corrie Lancaster moves back to the family farm just in time to help with the harvest. With a bumper crop of wheat waiting, the farm’s only hired hand quits, leaving Corrie with no choice but to accept the help of her old boyfriend’s older brother, Aaron Tuttle. It seems like the perfect plan until Corrie realizes ex-flame Luke isn’t over her. But even with Luke’s apologies and attempts to rekindle their romance, Corrie can’t forget his past betrayal.
Between harvesting, keeping tabs on her younger siblings, and watching her parents’ marriage crumble, Corrie leans on Aaron for emotional support. Wading through jealousy was never on Corrie’s to-do list, but as she navigates the choppy waters, she finds herself falling for Aaron’s good looks and charming wit.
Just when Corrie thinks she has everything under control, a stranger seeking shelter comes to the farm, and an old nemesis returns for revenge. As destructive forces align against her, Corrie must decide which man’s love will bring her back to life and restore her faith in herself, her family, and her purpose.
So, even though I’m a Christian, I oftentimes have a difficult time with books written as “religious fiction”. The can seem contrived and forced, even to me. So I always start them with a little bit of trepidation.
Let me just say right from the start that Amber Waves of Grace is not one of those kinds of books. I could sense the Christian elements of this without it dictating how I was supposed to feel or relate to the characters.
Corrie, the main character, comes home to help her injured father with the farm. Needless to say she is a bit overwhelmed when she gets there. Enter her ex and his brother who are more than happy to help her.
That’s all I’m going to say for the plot. But, I’ll say that this was a refreshing story of confusing romantic entanglements, a very intriguing side plot, and very strong characters all around.
I’m extremely satisfied after reading Amber Waves of Grace. I hope to read more from Ms. Berg.
