Heart Warming

This is one of a series. It is a heart warming story. I recommend starting with the first book in this series. You won't want to miss any of them and the follow through of this family.

Don't want to stop reading this series.

All three of Kelly's books in this series are quality Christian (historial) fiction. In other words not your typical fluff. The Wortham family and their struggles becomes so endearing to the reader. These books certainly challenge me to greater faith in difficult times. I am eagerly looking forward to the fourth book.

Katie's Dream

I have read all three of Leisha Kelly's books starting with Julia's Hope, Emma's Gift and now Katie's Dream. I feel to get the whole story you need all three. I Can't wait till the next book comes out. I love the way she uses Scripture thru out the books and being raised in the country can relate to alot of the things in the books. Please hurry and write another one. God Bless, Songbird

The best yet!!

I so enjoyed this book about the continuing struggles of the Wortham family. It was the most heart warming story I have read, yet. I love the generosity and love of the the characters. Along with the inner struggles to be the kind of person Jesus taught, we should be. It gives hope that people can really love their neighbor as themselves and that during hard times as well as joyous times they can truely live together, helping one another. I am very anxious to read the next book about the Worthams and their extended family.

terrific Christian Depression Era family drama

In 1932 in Dearing, Illinois Samuel and Julia Wortham raise two children on a farm bequeathed to them by their dear friend Emma Graham. The pious Worthams also try to help their widower neighbor George Hammond with his large brood of children. Following a Fourth of July celebration, Sam's brother Edward awaits them with a little girl inside his car. Edward insists little Katie is Samuel's daughter; Samuel knows that this cannot be true as he insists he has been faithful to his wife. The child looks like him and Edward had been in prison during the conception of the little girl. Katie desperately seeks affiliation with a family having been rejected by her mother. Her prayers lie in finding her real father and have him take her in. Julia has doubts about whether Samuel sired Katie encouraged by Edward the serpent. Will he destroy the love between this couple or will the belief in God shared by Julia and Samuel offer solace as they struggle to make a home for the child while other tests of their faith occur? KATIE'S DREAM is a terrific Christian Depression Era family drama starring a deep cast that brings the disheartened period to life when the government sat idly waiting for the recovery around the corner while a belief in God provided solace for many. The fully developed cast shows the impact of the Great Depression on rural America. Especially intriguing is the difference between Samuel and Edward who share the same dismal childhood with the former turning to God and the latter to crime. Leisha Kelly furbishes a powerful historical that will send readers seeking her previous tales (see JULIA'S HOPE AND EMMA'S GIFT). Harriet Klausner
