Fiction. Literature. HTML:Spring is in the Air is one of more than twenty-five books in the series Tales from Grace Chapel Inn, a series about memories, the bonds of sisterhood, the blessings of friendship, and the many fascinating people we meet along the way.
Spring comes to Acorn Hill and brings with it birds, budding flowers, and a whole new set of challenges for the Howard sisters. Louise becomes involved in the creation of the town's official Web site and learns more than she ever wanted to know about computers, while Jane, always up for an adventure, gets roped into helping coach the local Little League team. As she teaches her players the rules of the game, she quickly discovers that sportsmanship is the toughest lesson for all of them to learn.
And when Alice and her friend Vera Humbert take a trip to Lancaster County to learn about the quilting traditions of the Amish, they enjoy the breathtaking scenery, the hearty meals and the famous simplicity of the Amish lifestyle. They also befriend a young girl who's about to make the biggest decision of her life and needs their advice. Meanwhile, the Howard sisters host a tight-knit family who are building a very peculiar boat for a charity regatta in the backyard. When spring is in the air, excitement is just around the corner.

The characters will be familiar to those who read others in the Grace Chapel series. They are always well developed and seem like old friends. The one part of this book to which I take exception is the lauding of the "unschooling" homeschool philosophy. While this might sound fine in theory, in reality most parents who home school do not take this cavalier approach to educating their kids. Most home schoolers use an approved curriculum, adhering to standards put in place by each state. If home school kids intend to go on to university, they need to have some kind of proof or take an entrance exam to assure they have acquired educationa competence. Unrealistic to spend so much time making a cardboard boat. ( )
