Synopsis

A moving and heartwarming World War I saga. For readers of Catherine Cookson and Dilly Court.

'When I'm the farmer,' began Mairi, and then she stopped, for she would never be the farmer. She was a girl.

Ever since she was nine years old, Mairi McGloughlin has known she wants to be a farmer, but by the law of the land it's her scholarly brother Ian who will someday inherit.

The next best thing might be to marry a farmer, and charming, confident Jack could be the perfect answer. But then there's Robin, her brother's best friend, more a man of books than of the land - and yet there's something about him. . .

But with the outbreak of the Great War, their choices change completely and neither Mairi, Ian or Robin can hope to escape unscathed.

As the world around them changes, only the land and love remain constant. But can it be enough to see them through?

Previously published as Harvest of Courage.

The Farm Girl's Dream is a sweeping saga - there's tragedy, struggle, family, rags to riches, a villain and romance. But it's the sense of hope and accomplishment which make these books so appealing and this one definitely hits the spot. I really enjoyed getting lost in this book for a few hours, and ended with a huge smile on my face and feeling of contentment. Lovely, feel good comfort reading well worth a read., Cosy Books

It was so easy to be swept up in this engaging and delightful story. It isn't all light hearted and there is a depth to the story that made for compelling reading., Rae Reads
