About Jacob Of Abbington Pickets: A Journey Of
Product Description Just before the turn of the 20th century, Jacob Hudson grows up on a farm in the Canadian prairies, near the small village of Abbington Pickets. As a child, he witnesses an incident that scars him deeply and leaves him unable to trust or understand his strong, proud, and often harsh father. Shy Jacob grows into a handsome, talented young man still carrying a dark secret. Just when Jacob thinks he will never be able to follow his dreams, he meets Abigail, a beautiful, boastful English girl with a chip on her shoulder. His heart falls wide open, but she doesn't give him the time of day. Unable to bear his father's injustices, Jacob eventually leaves to work at a local ranch, where he finds kinship, acceptance, vocation, and-possibly-love. When circumstances change, Jacob moves into the village. Despite the many wonderful things his new life brings, his existence in Abbington Pickets is not an easy one. Will this kind and virtuous young man ever find happiness? Will his relationship with his father find resolution? Jacob's compelling story of loss, perseverance, and faith unfolds amidst the background of 19th-20th century rural Canada. Review "I read the book in one sitting, I couldn't put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. This is probably a very accurate portrayal of the pioneer times; the challenges faced, the values held. One fell in love with the characters. It was such a blessing to read this wholesome book. This shows that a book does not need foul language or unseemly acts to tell a fascinating and believable story. Corinne is a very good writer. She leaves one waiting and watching for her next book - books, hopefully!" -Gwennie Simpson, Sedgewick, Alberta "H.C. Hewitt is unlike any author I've read. The books in 'The Abbington Pickets' series are not at all predicable. I know which way I want the story to go, but then it takes a turn and I have to keep reading hoping it comes back to where I hoped it would! I've truly been blessed by this author." -Betty Blackwell, Brooks, Alberta "I want to let people know if you haven't read these books you are missing out, I couldn't stop reading and now I can't wait for the next one. I love the time frame and it's so nice to find a book that can make you laugh, cry and touch your heart. Thank you Corinne you are an AMAZING AUTHOR and a wonderful person God Bless you as you write your next book." -Linda Rushton, Carlyle, Saskatchewan "Jacob of Abbington Pickets is a book written from the heart. It chronicles Jacob's many losses from the death of his younger sister to the death of his father. There are many ups and downs. There are family secrets that threaten to destroy Jacob. Along the way, there are many touching victories and, in the end, there is healing and reconciliation. If you enjoy historical novels with a touch of romance, you will enjoy this story." - Linda Ford, fan-favorite, top-selling author of more than 80 historical romances. About the Author H. C. Hewitt grew up on a farm in Southeastern 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 historical romance. 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 story unfolds. Her story's setting in the series of Abbington Pickets was inspired by a historic park near where she grew up, founded in 1882 by an Englishman who set out to create a Victorian village in Canada. H. C. Hewitt's other passion is quilting. She owns and operates a quilt shop where she designs and makes quilt patterns. Her four children have grown up and moved away, giving her more time for writing and quilting. She also has six grandchildren and loves to spend time with them. H. C. Hewitt lives in rural East-C
