Book Overview

In Lessons at Blackberry Inn, life is seen through Carol's eyes, the eyes of a homemaker in the 1830s. Her busy days are spent teaching her children in the mornings and canning their bountiful harvest in the afternoons. Guests at Blackberry Inn appreciate Carol's delicious country meals served family style on the long table. When her feet ache or her emotions begin to get the better of her, Carol's husband, Michael, has a calming affect. She is supported by his ongoing devotion. Therefore it is no surprise that when the pastor of the church asks a big favor of Carol, Michael has a heart-to-heart talk with her about her involvement. She is expecting their third child and he is concerned that she may be already doing too much. As learning is not limited to the schoolbook, life's lessons impart wisdom to a variety of characters, both young and old, all living in the country village of Appleton. Can be read as a stand-alone inspirational and instructional homeschool guide for moms, or as a sequel to Karen's popular Pocketful of Pinecones. Practical homeschooling ideas, the Charlotte Mason method, and the forgotten value of homemaking fill every nook and cranny of its pages."

Retreat in a Book

Just finished Lessons at Blackberry Inn and enjoyed it as much as Andreola's other work. You cannot imagine the soothing effect these living books have on a frayed heart at the end of the day! I appreciate the main character's (Carol's) transparency. I love the way Andreola allows us into Carol's thoughts, modeling for us the importance of discernment in how we act on what we feel. In regards to the lengthy negative comment...

A Real Treat for a Homeschool Mom

This is the sequel to Pocketful of Pinecones. I love them both. A fictional account of a home school mom in the early 1900s. She uses the Charlotte Mason approach and is not so different from many moms today. Lots of home school tips woven into the narrative and lots of inspiring quotes.

simply delightful

If you've read Pocketful of Pinecones then you will thoroughly enjoy spending more time with Carol and her family! If you haven't read the first book, this one can definitely be enjoyed on it's own. This book explores the lives of several of the towns folk a bit more in depth then the first book did. I found the experience to be similar to the Mitford series. As a homeschooler, I enjoyed the way the book illustrates...
