About the Book
Breath Of Spring
As a bright season brings a fresh
start to Willow Ridge, Annie Mae Knepp feels she can never make peace
with the past. Her disgraced ex-bishop father is furious she has taken
her five siblings to live with her. She's never been truly at home in
her faith. . .or believing in herself. And Annie Mae fears no man will
want to take on the responsibilities she's gladly shouldered. True, her
quiet neighbor Adam Wagler has been steadfast and unshakeable helping
her through her trials, but he surely couldn't think of someone so lost
as more than a friend. Believing she is unworthy because of her doubts,
Annie Mae will find in a moment of surprising revelation that God can
work impossible miracles--and that love makes all things new.

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
My Review
“Breath of Spring” by Charlotte Hubbard is the fourth book of her
'Seasons of the Heart' series and not the last one either, for “Harvest
of Blessings' will be out in February 2015, and I just can't wait for
it. I have to say that Ms. Hubbard wove a tale that I got lost in for I
was up until 4:00 in the morning to just finish the story. There was no point that I could put down the book so I could get to sleep for I just had to see what
would happen next.
Well 'the creep' that I have talked
about in the last few reviews, has gone beyond being a creep to a
demented villain. This creep turned villain has been apparently
building in their ways through each book and has really shown their
deeper character in this book, but I wonder how much more this character
can sink into the depths of hatred. Though I haven't really cared for
this character in the slightest bit from the very first book “Summer of
Secrets”, I still hope that maybe there is something happens to change
this creep back into someone so much better, or somehow just disappears
all together. I have also gotten to the point to where I think this character is not going to just stop like I thought in the first couple of books for well this character is just plain nuts.
This is Annie Mae's story and what an
interesting story it is as well. Annie Mae is a young woman who has
been making her own choices for some time as a way to rebel some but now
her choices are being made with a different reasons. Her change of
heart may have happened almost overnight but instead of there just
suddenly being a change of heart, we are given the gift of seeing what
helped Annie Mae change so quickly. Her heart has always been a loving
one for it is clear how much she loves her family throughout the series
even if she feels overwhelmed at times. Her determination to do what
she knows is for the best shows just how strong Annie Mae is, even when
she feels as if she took too much upon herself even for the best
intentions that she has.
Things are truly getting
interesting in Willow Ridge with some new surprises coming along the
way. Love is still growing strong but it also seems as if a new start
is happening all through Willow Ridge as they are now entering a new era
with all that has been happening. Characters that play such a major
part of this book and prior books show how together they love, laugh and
protect each other through some of the hardest times. The message here in this
book seems to be that we are not some lone islands that must learn to
handle everything alone, but with family and friends we stand stronger
when we learn to lean on others at times.
I hope that all
who read this book enjoys it as much as I have, with the understanding
they shouldn't start the book so close to their bedtime.
