Leap of Faith- Book 1

When Abby Bryant's husband Josh tells her he wants to move to West Virginia and homestead, she's incredulous... as well as worried. Josh has had some pretty out-there ideas before, but this one takes the cake! They have a perfectly nice life in suburban New Jersey, even if it's as busy and frenetic as everyone else's. And while Josh is his typically eager self, ready to start hammering nails, planting corn, and whatever else he's meant to do according to those YouTube videos he's watched, Abby is a lot more cautious. Binge-watching Alone doesn't mean you're ready to go off-grid, and they like their life in the suburbs... don't they?

But then their kids get involved... sixteen-year-old Bethany, fourteen-year-old William, eleven-year-old Jack, and six-year-old Rose are all more on board than Abby could have ever expected, even if little Rose really just wants a cat. Abby starts to suspect she's the only one dragging her feet... but for how long? When their suburban life starts to come off the rails in all sorts of ways, Abby realizes something has to change. But is homesteading really the answer, especially when they're such untested newbies? Josh certainly seems to think so. With the help of her family, can Abby take that leap of faith?

The heartwarming start to a brand-new series by multimillion-selling author Kate Hewitt, Wildflower Valley will introduce you to a wonderful community of quirky characters as you follow the Bryants on their homesteading adventure. For fans of Little House on the Prairie, The Pioneer Woman, and anyone who has dreamed of having their own little corner of land...



Both Feet In- Book 2

The Bryant family have taken the plunge and moved to Wildflower Valley, West Virginia! Tackling house renovations, barnyard disasters, homeschool high jinks and a garden that doesn't seem to want to grow, Abby and Josh and their four children must face every setback together, along with their motley crew of neighbors--Hooch, the self-proclaimed redneck with a heart of gold, the Hofhenburgers, a retired couple who seem to know everything about homesteading but don't necessarily want to share that information, Lily and Robby, the newlyweds with a dream of off-grid living who just might be in over their heads, and Barbara, a former flower child who talks to the earth.

As they take on troubles together, Abby and Josh's faith in their homesteading future is sorely tested--but when you're both feet in, maybe you just need to keep going... no matter what gets thrown your way. The second book in the heartwarming Wildflower Valley series, following the Bryant family on their homesteading adventures!
