This was a great book that had many wonderful truths in it. I was a bit flustered when i read the first review from "Pcsgrl" or whatever. I guess if you don't believe in God and all the "Jesus stuff" then you wouldn't get anything out of this book, however, for those who do you will find it to be one of Janette Oke's finest books- I've read every one of them, and loved this one!
One of Janette Oke's finest!

I believe the novel, Return To Harmony, was one of the best Janette Oke has ever written. It was very inspiring and suspensful. Every time I finish one of her works, I am left with a feeling of hope and happiness. Bethan is a character to be immitated!
Wonderful!

Once again, Janette Oke has out done herself. She has been a favorite of mine since Marty and Clark Davis came to be "friends" of mine in the Love Come Softly series. It is wonderful to get to know the characters and feel part of their lives! I was afraid to venture beyond the Love Come Softly series for fear of leaving the Davis' behind. I was excited to find that Mrs. Oke has made each family in her books come to life. I can't put the books down and am sad when they end. She always leaves me wanting more! Return to Harmony is a wonderful book!

When I saw that my 2 favorite authors had collaborated to write a novel, I knew I had to check it out...I was not disappointed! Janette Oke's down-home, easy-to-relate-to characters combine with T. Davis Bunn's detailed, captivating descriptions and humor to keep the reader's attention throughout the narrative. It is obvious that both of these authors love to write, and although their styles and themes may somewhat differ, the combination in Return to Harmony made for enjoyable reading. Thank you both for another terrific title to add to my Christian fiction library!
