The love story alone would make for a compelling book, but the addition of the mother is such a wonderful part. Her new life in the widow group allows her to see and experience her new life and allows her to connect to her son and his new life.

This is book 3 in the Savannah skies series set on Tybee Island. Libby is still dealing with finding her husband Jack dead out in the field on their farm. Now her sons are running the farm and she is starting to visit friends who are also widows. She is very involved with the 2 weddings that are going to take place soon in their big barn. Her daughter who lives nearby and her gay son who is living in Washington DC. This book can be read as a stand alone. I particularly enjoy the interaction between Libby and her granddaughter. They are so close.

This is a women's fiction novel about three friends that are now widowed. Each one is having a different issue and they help each other through. There are many secondary characters that were well liked especially Ellie. I will definitely read another Nan Rossiter book.

A Good Measure is a faith based fiction that is full of blessings.
A small town where everyone knows one another and look out for each other. Beautiful friendships, acceptance of each other and embracing life is what you will get when reading this story.
“Out of life’s burdens come blessings”
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

The third installment in the Savannah Skies series does not disappoint. A woman reeling from the death of her husband grieves his passing and struggles with worries about the future of her 6 sons.

Friends helping friends….

From a Christian perspective, #AGoodMeasure by Nan Rossiter features a diverse cast of characters dealing with real life issues in healthy ways. Storylines include satisfying friendships, women supporting women, mother and adult child relationships, acceptance, grief, a child on the spectrum, widowhood, complicated family, and m/m romance (closed door).

Told from three “well-seasoned” women’s perspectives,this heartwarming and emotional story is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Thanks #Netgalley @HarperPerennial #OliveInfluencer for a complimentary eARC. All opinions are my own.

The third book in the Savannah Skies series by Nan Rossiter set in Georgia finds the Tennyson family planning son Gage's wedding on the farm. But now it looks like there will be two weddings as Chase and Liam announced they are engaged.

This is faith-based fiction and very warm-hearted and joyful with fully-fledged, likable characters. Rossiter handles the many issues she brings up in the story well. The ultimate take-away lesson seems to be: out of life's burdens come blessings.

I received an arc of this new novel from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am grateful for the opportunity to spend time in the company of these good people. It's a breath of fresh air.

A Good Measure is a beautifully written story about family, friendship and love. Families face changes constantly and this book looks at coping with grief at the loss of a spouse, changing relationships with children and how to love your children no matter how they live their lives. It's an emotional look at many parts of life that we all face.

Libby's husband has been dead for eight months and she is still trying to process his loss. She has five living sons and several of them are keeping the dairy farm running. She is have trouble facing the changes in her life and resisting help from her friends. She finally joins a group of widowed women who meet weekly. Her two best friends from childhood - Ames and Payton are part of the group and help Libby.

Payton runs a coffee shop with her 28 year old son who is on the autism spectrum. She is having a problem letting him learn how to live life on his own and feels like the only way he can get through life is by having her run his life. Ames is afraid to visit her daughter on the west coast because she doesn't want to leave her dog who has become her constant companion since her husband died. She also has to face an issue with her health that was very scary. Libby is worried about her son Chase and trying to keep the fact that he is getting married to his male partner a secret from her friends.

I especially enjoyed this book because the three female characters are older and facing issues about age and declining health. This is well told story is an emotional book about love, friendship and change. We all know the importance of female friendships in our lives and the long term friendship between Libby, Ames and Payton is a great example of friends helping friends through difficult life changes.

Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book to read and review.

A GOOD MEASURE by Nan Rossiter was my first read by a renowned, beloved writer. I was captivated by this story of women who have survived husbands, tragedies, and tough times and their loved ones. However, the pace, the weaving in small daily routines, and uneven views into characters so some were profoundly relatable and others felt more cardboard caricature made for a less than enjoyable time. Beyond that, there were turns of event and wonderful moments that kept me slogging through the rough places. I enjoyed spending time in the country, a small town where people look out for one another, and wholehearted embrace of land, coffee and tea, and friendship. I received an early copy of this book and these opinions are my own unbiased thoughts.

after Libby's husband dies she get involved with a group of widows who meet every week to help each other. I have read all of Nan Rossiter's books and have loved them all. this is a great read.

A Good Measure is a bout acceptance and growth. Libby has to embrace all the recent changes in her life. I liked her new group of friends. She also has to acknowledge that things are changing and she can’t stop those changes.
It’s a nice story, but I found it hard to relate to most of the characters.

This was my first book by Nan Rossiter and I enjoyed every beautifully written word! A Good Measure is a book about a group of women who are trying to carry on with and having a fulfilling life after becoming widows.

The main focus is on Libby, the newest widow, and the upcoming weddings of two of her sons.
I love it when women(especially older women) in books band together in friendship and support, but there is so much more to this story. This is a story of acceptance and love as well. Libby is uncomfortable at first sharing the news of the upcoming nuptials of her youngest son to another man. She learns about friendship and love and acceptance. Her friends learn some things along the way too.

A lovely book of how much friendship really means and how it enriches your life.

Thanks to Harper Collins Publishers and NetGalley for the gifted copy. All thoughts are my own.

This charming, old fashioned novel is a delight to read. Focusing on the lives of small town widows, A Good Measure is full of family values. The novel centers on Libby, newly widowed, whose life on the family farm was dominated by her late husband. Now in her sixties, she is learning how to make a path for herself. Meanwhile, Payton struggles with freedom for her son Cash who has Asperger’s. A health scare makes her realize just how important that is. And her friend Ames longs to reestablish softball games…

This engaging story will appeal to all readers of a certain age and fans of Jan Karon’s Mitford series. Chase and Liam’s relationship shows how families adapt to change with love and understanding. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Harper Perennial and Nan Rossiter for this ARC.

I enjoyed this book from page one. This story is full of Christian values, family, and friends. Nan Rossiter has woven a tale of how long-time friends Ames, Libby, and Peyton learn to embrace the future by excepting the present for how things are and helping each other. Thanks to author Nan Rossiter, Harper Perennial and Paperbacks, and NetGalley for providing a copy of this book for an honest review.

I have not read any of this author’s books before but I found the premise intriguing and thoroughly enjoyed becoming immersed in the family life of the main characters. I especially loved the character of Ellie, and was fascinated by the love story of Chase and Liam, and how the family came to acceptance. This was lovely Christian fiction that warmed my heart.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
