Farming is not just Oscar Halvorson''s livelihood but his life, and the Depression has taken nearly everything but the land itself.

His acreage is still not entirely his own. Oscar faithfully paid his loans during the lean years, but he faces foreclosure soon, unless he can pay off the bank loan. Oscar''s plight has haunted him all winter. Banker E.A. Stordal is in no mood to bargain, and has ambitions of becoming a wealthy landowner.

With the only life he''s ever known at risk, Oscar gambles with fate and a bargain for a widow''s fallow land with the potential to save everything. In the midst of their arduous efforts, he finds redemption, a new life, and a late-blooming love.

This beautifully lyrical story is a reassurance that it''s never too late for love. Filled with a spirituality that''s ever-present in the characters'' lives and situations, Blue Harvest is a testament to survival despite overwhelming odds.
