About this ebook
After surviving the unthinkable, one young woman finds healing in nature, friendship, and a surprising kind of love.
Lovely and winsome May Seymour graduated from college with the world at her feet and no idea what to do with it. A spontaneous mission trip to Africa brought great surprise—love—and a strong sense of purpose. But in loving others there, she encountered a severe tragedy that left her deeply wounded.
She comes to heal at the farm of Claudius Borne—a sweet, kind old man who understands plants and animals far better than people. And his farm becomes May’s home.
There on the farm, May renews a friendship with an old college flame named Eli whose path has taken unexpected turns too. As May tries to convince Eli to grab hold of life once again, he begins to pull May from her sheltered existence. Like old Claudius’s farm in Spring, May begins to blossom back into life. But no resurrection ever comes without sacrifice—and this sacrifice will forever transform May.

Reviews for Resurrection in May
10 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I must first say that Christian Fiction is not something I would pick up if given the choice. I did receive this book from the publisher and am so glad I did!! I absolutely loved everything about this book!! I guess when I hear "Christian Fiction", I think of a book that focuses on God or spirituality, but that is so not the case. I found this book to be both entertaining and thought-provoking. The book follows the life of May, a recent college graduate and lost soul. A chance meeting brings her and Claudius, an elderly gentlemen, together. As they get to know each other, an endearing friendship blossoms. Shortly after meeting Claudius, May heads to Rwanda on a mission trip. Her life is a downward spiral from there for many years. Thanks to friendships and church, May finds it in herself to return to society. I feel this book is a must-read for everyone. The characters are well-developed. The plot is both interesting and enlightening. The author covers a number of controversial topics, but does not push her beliefs one way or the other onto the reader. The book is very well written and keeps the reader thoroughly invloved throughout the novel.
