Arise And Reap

Dawn Over the Harvest Fields

As the first rays of morning light gild the rolling wheat fields of Sunridge Farm, a sense of promise stirs in the hearts of its inhabitants. Jessica Meredith, the spirited young heiress determined to preserve her family’s legacy, arrives back home after years abroad. With the land’s fertility at stake under mounting debts, she must navigate the delicate balance between tradition and innovation. Isabel Chapman and Lucy Elphinstone invite readers into a world where every golden stalk holds a story of hope.

Seeds of Conflict

When agribusiness magnate Victor Bramwell offers Jessica a lucrative—and morally compromising—partnership, loyalties are tested. Her steadfast farm manager, Tom Hargreaves, believes that modern methods can revitalize Sunridge without selling its soul. Meanwhile, Jessica’s estranged brother, Marcus, returns with his own hidden motives and a passion for revitalization that clashes with Tom’s cautious optimism. As tensions mount beneath the vault of azure sky, each decision carries the weight of generations.

Storm Clouds Gather

Amid brewing storms—both meteorological and emotional—Jessica uncovers long-buried family secrets: whispered rumors of embezzlement, a decades-old diary hinting at a forbidden romance, and a pact made on a harvest night that neither sibling fully understands. When a sudden downpour threatens the ripening grain, she must rally the community—farmhands, neighbors, and even reluctant rivals—to shield their world from ruin. Every hand turned in solidarity becomes a testament to resilience.

Reaping What We Sow

In the culminating crescendo at the heart of the threshing barn, Sunridge’s future hangs in the balance. Will Jessica choose the quick gains promised by Bramwell, or trust the honest toil of those who have tilled this land before her? Arise And Reap is a stirring tale of family, conviction, and the enduring power of homegrown truth. Author’s description.
