Denise Hunter has a way of bringing depth and an aching beauty into her stories, and Harvest Moon is no different. Harvest Moon is a beautiful tale of second chances, self-sacrifice, and renewed romance which addresses hard topics such as child death and dissolved marriages. In a beautiful turn of events, Hunter brings unexpected healing out of a devastating situation, subtly reminding the reader that God can create beauty out of the most painful of circumstances and love from the most broken stories. --Pepper Basham, author of The Heart of the Mountains and Authentically, Izzy Basham, Pepper

This is a sweet, heartwarming romance . . . and a lovely, engrossing story . . . A worthy entry into the Riverbend series, it also reads well as a stand-alone. Booklist
