PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
H. C. Hewitt grew up on a farm northwest of Manor, Saskatchewan where she developed a deep appreciation for the rural prairie landscape and the people who live there. She has been passionate about reading and writing from an early age and always knew that she would someday write a novel. Her grandmother's extensive knowledge of Saskatchewan history and her grandfather's collection of antiques sparked an enduring love of history, especially of the era in which her novel series unfolds. Her story's setting in the series of Abbington Pickets was inspired by the Cannington Manor History Park, which was founded in 1882 by an Englishman who set out to create a Victorian village in Canada. H. C. Hewitt's other passions are quilting, designing quilt and embroidery patterns, as well as collecting antiques. She and her husband, Kenny, farm with her dad as well as their son on the family farm. They have four grown children and six grandchildren, with whom they love to spend time with.
I love how Faith and Family values are displayed in Jacob's Secret. Also, how real places, events and true life history is encompassed into the story of Jacob and Abigail. The challenges and celebrations of their life, along with intrigue and excitement for a small community, keeps you wanting to read more. The message of Faith, Family and Friendship; along with the healing Power of Forgiveness is truly inspiring. -Laura McDonald, Hand Hills, AB, Canada Once again, H. C. Hewitt captivates the reader while delving into the trials of the Hudson family and the residents of Abbington Pickets! -Cathy Gall, Hanna, AB, Canada
