Summary: A love story from the Heartland of America
Review: I hope you enjoy reading Abby and Sam's love story and their triumph over obstacles both human and natural. This book is important to me because it is set in the area of my home town in Northeast Ohio. The time period is 1893, and the locales and Iroquois legends are based on fact and tales I heard as a child. Emma's cave in the gorge actually exists in Summit County, Ohio. It is called Lucy Campbell's Kitchen, and can be seen today. Homespun Hearts is a story about faith, family, and miracles and embraces the ideals and values of America's heartland. I hope it touches your heart.

Summary: A new star in Americana Romance!!!
Review: In the tradition of authors such as LaVyrle Spencer, Lorraine Heath, Stephanie Mittman, and Dorothy Garlock, newcomer Cynthia Thomason has created an Americana romance to treasure as she brings the 1800s to life in Sam and Abby's touching and endearing story. HOMESPUN HEARTS is pure joy to read.

Summary: Best of the Best: A Lovely Book!
Review: So often in those books that are grouped as "category romances," the reader finds flimsy and absurd plotlines...minimal and often inaccurate detail--especially in works with historical settings...and just plain poor writing. HOMESPUN HEARTS is the opposite, a winner on every level.

Author Cynthia Thomason does a wonderful job of describing smalltown Ohio at the turn of the 20th Century, one of those singular times and places which exemplified the values which came to shape our nation.

Her characters, especially the hero and heroine, are real and lovable. And those other folks who people their town just prove Thomason's theory that human nature hasn't changed much over the centuries.

Thomason has done plenty of research, and it shows, as when she takes her characters to the Chicago Exposition to marvel over everything that then was new and wonderful. In one subplot of this complex novel, she has integrated John D. Rockefeller into her story.

Readers of HOMESPUN HEARTS will be engaged in Thomason's touching story, and they surely will cheer every twist and turn that brings the tale to its inevitable conclusion.

I can't wait to read all of this author's other books. HOMESPUN HEARTS belongs in the classification of the best of the best!

Summary: I love this story, and the characters that bring it to life!
Review: This was a great story! I couldn't wait for the end to see if there was a happy ending, but at the same time, didn't want it to end. The characters were so real, I actually miss them now that I'm done! I must admit the happy ending was worth it though.
