In 1864, Jonathan and Mary Sower followed God's direction to move their family from the war-torn town of Perryville, Kentucky, to a new land of opportunity at Snelling, California. However, this promised land is not without its giant encounters, especially for their four children who are coming of age. Disappointing ambitions, uncontrollable temptations, hidden intentions, and immature discernment are the sibling's battlegrounds. The hopeful parents embrace the Parable of the Sower as their saving grace for the ageless trials ahead of them. Although the family members are fictitious, their life situations are universal and the readers will find themselves relating to the family's struggles and victories.
In addition to the main characters are actual people, places and events that occurred in Calfornia's frontier towns such as Columbia, Sonora, Jamestown, Chinese Camp, Coutlerville, Mariposa, Rio Vista, and of course, Snelling. The names of these citizens are slightly changed, and the historical occurrences blend naturally into the narration. This classic rendition will broaden the reader's understanding of life's difficulties and how an all-knowing and all-mighty God can provide a golden harvest of resolutions for every situation.
