### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Glad there is a 4th book
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2023*

I have really enjoyed reading the first 3 Hope River novels.  The characters are so real and I can’t wait to start book 4 to see what happens with them.  I don’t know what I’ll do when I finish it!  I will stick with  Patricia Harman’s books as I like her style of writing.  Very enjoyable reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Inspiring work!
  

*by Y***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019*

This is the insightful story of a young woman who chooses to be a midwife for her community in the days after WWI and before WWII.  She lives in a tiny mountain community where the people are are poor and medical help non-existent locally.  She, her husband, and their four children eke out a living from his small earnings and whatever she is given when she delivers a baby--usually produce, fresh meat, eggs, and occasionally a few coins.  When WWII breaks out, her husband refuses to sign up for the draft since he served in WWI and had some horrendous experiences.  Despite the neighbors and townspeople turning aganist them because he will not sign, he loses his job and her midwifery is all that they have to support them.  The rapport between her and her husband during this time is very interesting and worth the read.  Eventually, he is sent to prison because he would not sign--note he was not being drafted, just ordered, along with all able-bodied males, to sign up--he was sent to prison.  Life was very difficult for her and her four children, but she kept them going with her midwifery, her garden, and whatever she could find to do.  There is a bit of tedium in describing the topography and the dismal conditions and the ongoing struggle of this little family, but this instills in the reader the life that they were living.  The strength of this book is in its ending which makes the reading worthwhile.  I urge you to read it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A Book for your Soul
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2021*

This is a truly lovely book that examines the difficulties of hate, fear, intolerance, prejudice, and our connection and responsibility to each other. This book explores what it is to hold ones ideals close even when the people you live don’t agree or can’t understand. It reminds us that the purpose of life is to be happy and to care for and love one another.Told in her easy to read and enjoyable style, Pat Harmon makes you feel at home in Hope River.
