I liked this three in one collection. I liked how each story built upon the previous story, just many years later. It helped you to see the family history and what become of each generation. I also liked the history in this story, which centered around the state of Vermont, which I didn't know much about. The three stories spanned the time of 1777 through 1864 and showed the stamina, hardships, wars, and struggles of the folks in Maple Notch, Vermont. You will see how God worked His will and way in the lives of these families and how their faith helped them through some trying times. You will see love blossom and grow and will find yourself wanting to travel to Vermont and discover this quaint town (but definitely not in the Winter! Brrrrrr!) (

Book description

Climb into adventure in the Green Mountain State where party politics, parental pressure, and personal misperceptions challenge three couples. Sally Reid and her family of Patriots are in hiding. Can she trust Josiah Tuttle, a man whose father is loyal to King George? Beatrice Bailey’s wealthy father wants his daughter to marry up—not down. Does farmer Calvin Tuttle have any chance of winning Beatrice’s heart and her father’s blessing? Clara Farley has accepted the role of spinster. Can Daniel Tuttle get her to change her mind? Will God show these couples a way above the fray?
