Take This Journey of Broken Souls Restored
and Tentative Hearts Brought Fully to Life
When family tragedy derails Henry Phillips's college studies, he's left unmoored and feeling abandoned. The only things that can tamp down his grief are the family farm, his fiddle, and an unexpected friendship with sweet but unusual preteen Mayfair Hoffman.
Unfortunately, Mayfair's older sister, Margaret, despite her spray of freckles and cute, turned-up nose, has a completely different effect. His grandmother's helper, she's always around, ready to push his buttons, and it seems at first that she doesn't care about his troubles.
Henry soon realizes, though, that Margaret's facing her own struggles. Mayfair's health and unique gift sit at the heart of those worries. Henry and Margaret soon find themselves relying on each other as potential tragedy collides with growing hope in a warm story of family bonds and the surprising ways healing finds us all.

Sarah Loudin Thomas's first book, Miracle in a Dry Season,
introduces us to the Phillips family. “Until the Harvest” takes place in
Appalachia in the 1970’s. The death of his father causes young Henry
Phillips to reconsider continuing with his college studies. He is not at all
sure about anything anymore and feels adrift. The trials we face in life
and how God puts the right people in our lives at the exact moment we need them
are two of the themes in this book. I really enjoyed reading this book..

exchange for my honest review, which I have given.
