Although all three novels are set in the same small town of Ladreville, Texas and share many of the same characters, each book stands on its own and the reader does not feel that she is missing critical information to understand the story.<br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In <em><strong>Tomorrow&#8217;s Garden<\/strong><\/em>, Lawrence Wood has left the Texas Rangers and has accepted a temporary position as mayor\/sheriff of Ladreville. Although he feels the Lord led him to return to the town, he feels no inclination to stay and plans to leave when his six months agreement has been completed. Harriet Kirk has arrived in Ladreville with her younger siblings to take a position as the new schoolteacher. Responsible for her brothers and sisters even before her parents&#8217; deaths, Harriet has high hopes that a new town will give them a new start. Little do Harriet and Lawrence imagine how much their lives are about to change.<\/p>\n<p>As in the earlier novels of this series, Cabot paints a vivid picture of life in Ladreville, Texas complete with the rivalry between the French and German residents. Characters and situations are realistically portrayed which makes it easy to become immersed in the story. As expected, the author included both spiritual and life lessons that were essential to the narrative. <em><strong>Tomorrow&#8217;s Garden<\/strong><\/em> is a fitting conclusion to <em>The Texas Dreams<\/em> series. I can&#8217;t wait to see what Ms. Cabot has in store for her readers next.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/divider21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"52\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by<br \/>\nRevell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;\">\u201cAvailable April 2011 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/TomorrowsGarden.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7455\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"Tomorrow's Garden\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/TomorrowsGarden.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/TomorrowsGarden.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/TomorrowsGarden-97x150.jpg 97w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/TomorrowsGarden-150x231.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/a>As The Seed Awaits the Spring Sunshine, Harriet Kirk Hopes for A Brighter Tomorrow.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMiss Kirk!
