Herbal Blessings

About the Book

Follow the continuing story of the people of Heartland, the “Little Town That’s All Heart!” It’s the fourth season at Joyful Heart, Callie Gardener Franklin’s herb farm located in central Indiana, and she’s discovering that being married to a high-profile husband means lots of changes for both her and the farm she loves. As she struggles to keep her business afloat in a challenging economy, dangerous threats surface that impact every facet of her world. At the same time, her friends face their own problems and opportunities. In times like these, Callie finds it takes real effort to remember to count her blessings… Meanwhile, Morgan Wright campaigns for political office and artist LouAnn Crow confronts difficult times. Romance blooms for some and disappointment awaits others. There are fresh additions to Joyful Heart’s staff, new adventures for trucker Suz Stone, Mike Shipley (the sweetest UPS driver in the Midwest) and the rest of the Heartland community. Celebrate as the population booms, good triumphs over evil, the gardens flourish, and the blessings of herbs enhance everyone’s lives. Herbal Blessings chronicles not only Callie’s life and another season of growing, harvesting, and using herbs, but also the joys of country life and nature. It is filled with fascinating herbal lore and helpful gardening information. As in the three previous books in the series, it features cultural information on twelve important herbs. And, completing the menu, it includes over seventy tempting original recipes for desserts and other herbal treats!
