With winter closing in, the cast of The 1929 Series face a brand new set of challenges. If there is one thing they’ve learned to do over the years, it’s how to stick together.

Maura is called to her hardest task yet, having to take over the raising of Tarin’s newborn baby, Brigid. Gordon’s faith in life and love is put to the test. Arianna attempts to close the gap of mistrust with Caleb while pressing to bring the dream of her own salon to life. Caleb wrestles with a bad feeling that haunts him like a ghost. Claire and Aryl come to terms with the decision they’ve made not have any more children and surgery day isn’t as easy for Claire as she thought.

When an epidemic strikes and the town is all but shut down, Muzzy and Peter become Rockport’s saving grace while a Texas newcomer brings unexpected hope and friendship, just when the group needs it the most.

Jonathan and Ava are tested with a devastating loss, leaving the others to wonder if Jonathan will sink down into the depths of depression again, or rise to meet an uncertain future with determination and hope.

M. L. Gardner is the bestselling author of the 1929 series. Gardner is frugal to a fault, preserving the old ways of living by canning, cooking from scratch, and woodworking. Nostalgic stories from her grandmother's life during the Great Depression inspired Gardner to write the 1929 series--as well as her own research into the Roarin' Twenties. She has authored ten books, three novellas, one book of short stories and a cookbook. Gardner is married with three kids and three cats.

    I have read and loved the entire 1929 series plus all the Seasons. I sincerely hope M.L Gardner will continue writing the Seasons. After the series and seasons, I feel like I really know all these characters. Each new season feels like dropping in to visit friends. The characters are so well-developed and it's easy to connect with them. They have all been through so much and can't seem to catch a break. Their love for each other and their sense of community is amazing. I wish they were real people! I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. They aren't standalones, so read the series, then the seasons. I'll be anticipating Season 4!

    I love this series. From start to finish on each and every book, the characters have engaged me in their story. I hated to finish the last book and was hoping to read more about the lives of these characters. There has only been one other series that I have been so impressed with and oddly enough, it was set in the same era. Love, Love, Love!!!!

    I have been a huge fan of ML Gardner since I read the first book in the series. If you like that time period you'll love her characters and continued storyline. She is a talented writer who makes you care about their stories and look forward to the next chapter of their saga. I can't say enough good things about this author and her tremendous talent!

    I have read everything that ML Gardner has relating to the 1929 series. Also this is my third time reading from the beginning. I can't explain the joy in reading these words written by this author. The stories are told in a way that makes you feel as if you are there and want to join this bunch of good people. Never stop writing ML Gardner. I only wish there were no ending to each book that I read by you. Would make a good tv series.

    Like all the other books by MLGardner , Purling Road was plain and simple, a good book. I have enjoyed every book in the series. Much better than watching TV. These books have a great blend of sadness, loving relationships, happiness, experiences, suspense and fulfillment.

    ML Gardener is my second favourite author.
