This book concludes the Amish Vines and Orchards Series, and in a fine way. This is one of those series that I started with the intention of finishing, and I’m glad to say I wasn’t disappointed.After reading book #3, For Every Season, I wondered what could make book #4 a book to look forward to, as I felt the best had already happened. I was pleasantly surprised. So many issues that had trickled down from book #1 resurfaced, and were dealt with in a way that brought the story to full circle. Orchard Bend Farm was exposed to external elements/reactions more than ever before; the faith/resolves of the people were thoroughly put to the test; and the seemingly “permissive” Amish culture established by it new occupants was threatened and shaken. I found this book engaging, entertaining, and thought-provoking.Jacob and Esther’s story wasn’t exactly rushed, but it didn’t enjoy the luxury of the full length of the series, as opposed to that of the other characters. That didn’t mean it wasn’t satisfying. It was. I just wish I enjoyed it as much as Samuel/Rhoda’s and Landon/Leah’s stories.Overall, the entire series came together neatly with a singular theme that rang true—trust God with your future no matter how confusing it may appear to be at the moment; in time, the beauty in your story will unfold. As the final book, some parts of the plot seemed rushed, and understandably so, but that didn’t affect the story in a negative way. I must add that I’m still not satisfied with the explanation of Rhoda’s gift. Something about it still doesn’t seem right. As for literary quality, this is another well done work by Woodsmall. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Seasons of Tomorrow is Cindy Woodsmall's 4th book in the Amish Vines and Orchards series. This was another book of hers that I found hard to put down. I kept wanting to know what would happen. I have grown attached to the characters and was happy to finally get a chance to read this series finale.I am thankful for the recap of each book at the beginning of the book because I do tend to forget some of the details.Orchard Bend Farms has been in operation for a year now. With a lot of hard work from Rhoda, Leah, Landon, Samuel, Steven and his wife Phoebe, and Iva, it will become a very successful orchard. A few new Amish families have moved to the area and try to help with the orchard when they can. Leah and Landon have started a forbidden relationship and once her father found out about it, he is not pleased one bit. Leah has not yet become a baptized Amish yet and is not sure if she ever will. More issues come out because of her love for Landon Olson.Samuel and Rhoda's relationship keep grown stronger and their love for each other grows each day. Jacob left the farm since his and Rhoda's relationship ended. He is off on different construction jobs around the country; never seeming to be ready to settle down.This book has romance, tragedy, reunions, choices to make, and so much more. I was sad to see this book and series end. You should pick up a copy and read it for yourself to see where each character ends up at the end.I have received this e-book for free from the Blogging for Books program in return for my honest review.
