April's Hope

The warm winds of spring are blowing across the prairie, and Charlotte finds out that Heather Creek Farm has been voted Adams County Farm of the Year. She is thrilled, but she’s not sure she’s up to the task of organizing an open house to celebrate the honor, and when heavy rains cause Heather Creek to rise quickly, it’s not just the open house that’s in danger. Hannah and Frank Carter’s fields start to flood and only quick thinking will save their home.

Christopher is thrilled to be able to use his weather station to monitor the extreme weather, but Emily’s upcoming birthday threatens to be a painful reminder of everything they’ve lost. Meanwhile, Sam is developing a new interest at school—her name is Arielle. And when an injury sidelines Charlotte, the long-awaited open house may be a washout. As neighbors pull together to help neighbors, the unshakeable faith of this tight-knit community continues to give them hope that there are better days ahead.
