Just finished “When the Meadow Blooms” by Ann H. Gabfhart. I adore historical fiction. This one is set during the 1918 flu/tuberculosis epidemic. My great grandfather passed away from tuberculosis so this story touched my heart. My grandfather was 2 when his father passed away. In this story, Calla, one of the characters was two when her father passed away. This is a story about a mother who is struggling to raise her two daughters and even had to send her two girls to an orphanage while she was healing in the hospital. Touched my heart greatly. Well written, simple read, and I love the mystery of it all. I am glad that the girls uncle came to offer them help and sanctuary. Not all stories have happy endings. I happen to love happy endings. Especially when I am suffering from a painful night. It helps with my mood.
If you want a powerful story of mystery and about love and support of family then this is a story for you.
