Friends, I have waited years to be able to introduce you to Paula Scott’s latest, which has been that long in the making. It debuted today on Amazon as the #1-selling New Release in Teen & Young Adult Biography eBooks. While Paula’s previous published books have been works of fiction, this one couldn’t be more real. Farming Grace: A Memoir of Life, Love, and a Harvest of Faith is her very own story, filled with such dramatic twists and turns that if it were fiction, you’d find it hard to believe. But every word of her tale is true, right down to its redemptive conclusion. It is a gritty love story brimming with both brokenness and beauty, told by a natural storyteller. I highly recommend it.

About the book:

Sometimes your past must be plowed before your future can be planted…

Her great-great-grandma came to California in a covered wagon more than a hundred years ago, and her family has farmed in the Sacramento Valley ever since, but a life of farming was the last thing she wanted… until the day fate brings her back to the farm.

Nineteen-year-old Paula Scott leaves California when the almonds are in bloom for college in Reno, Nevada where cocaine, casinos, and her first honest-to-goodness boyfriend will break her farmgirl heart, but her story doesn’t end in the desert with a broken heart.

When life knocks us down, we get back up, we try again, we marry and maybe divorce, but in the midst of our down and dirty, raw and real, painfully ordinary lives, sometimes the extraordinary breaks through, and we see God.

Because God sees us.
