Once upon a Summer by Janette Oke
5.0
This is probably the fifth or sixth time I’ve read this book, and I will give it five stars for eternity. The whole series, to be honest.
I was raised on reading and watching Little House on the Prairie, so I was born for homestead, slow living. The simple, heartfelt faith, the loveable characters, the little lessons and morals, and the charming setting and humor are so wholesome and homelike. A little piece of my heart will always stay on the farm with Josh, Auntie Lou, Grandpa, Uncle Charlie, Gramps, preacher Nat, and sweet Pixie. I laughed and cried as Josh went through life as only a young boy can - simply and humorously, yet so charmingly serious.
This book (and the whole series) are comfort reads and I never want Josh’s adventures with his family to end.
Also: justice for Callum… he needs his happy ending too.
The audiobook may be easier for some to digest, as the book uses some country slang that may slow down physical readers - I’m an audiobook girlie almost never, but the audio makes the characters come to life.
