A Homespun Mother's Day is a collection of romance stories and every story is terrific which seems to be very rare with these collections of shorter romance tales. Emma's Day is written by Jill Metcalf. It is set in 1878 in Ohio and features an older heroine in her early 40's named Emma Porter who has a grown daughter who is married and on her own. Emma is being wooed by a newcomer to her town named Ward Hamilton but because her late husband treated her badly she is suspicious of men and Ward has to try with the help of her daughter to get her to trust him and love him just as much as he loves her. Twice Blessed is written by Rebecca Hagen Lee, it is set in 1919 in Florida. In this story a young woman named Lydia Turner who lives in a small town rents out a building to a man named Thomas Sullivan who has a young son and they wind up spending a lot of time together. Coming Home is written by Teresa Warfield and is my favorite of the stories. It is set in 1911 in Missouri. A young woman named Rachel Cameron who I think is about 18 years old. She lives on a farm with her father, grandmother and brother. She has a love of reading and when she meets a writer named Timothy Benton who shares her love of reading and has the biggest collection of books she has ever seen he agrees to let her come to his house and read but he thinks that she has gotten permission from her stern father which she hasn't so when they fall in love, Daddy's not to happy because he is worried about Rachel's reputation and if I recall correctly he already has someone in mind for Rachel who he thinks is a nice outstanding member of their town but is actually unknown to him really a bully and a lech. All the stories are great but Coming Home is my favorite and I very highly recommend this book which I think is good enough for the keeper shelf!
