Move to the country for $1 a week.
Dulili is suffering a people drought. Over the years more people have moved
away than have arrived to stay in this old New South Wales farming town, and
now only a handful of young families and elderly residents are left. The locals
put a plan into action to entice newcomers: offering the town’s empty houses to
newcomers from anywhere in Australia. Who could resist renting a
beautiful homestead for a dollar a week?

Alicia used to know exactly what her life would look like: marry her best
friend, manage her home town agricultural store, and live in her grandparent’s
old house. But life never goes to plan, and Alicia is left with nothing more
than the store to keep her going. Until a new employee walks through her door
and offers a new friendship – and potentially something more.
Lachlan has spent his life running, and Dulili is just far enough away for a
new start. But small towns have few secrets, and running from the past is a
surefire way to guarantee no hope for a future.

My Review:
‘The Healing Season’ is already the third book in the A
Dollar For A Dream series. I first read ‘A Heart Stuck On Hope’, and ‘Honey Hill House’ a view weeks ago. Since I loved these first two books, and I love
feel-good stories about country life, ‘The Healing Season’ sounded like a great
read. I decided to add this one to my TBR as soon as possible. Not only is the
series fun to read, the stories also aren’t very long, so they’re perfect to
read when you don’t have a lot of time.

In ‘The Healing Season’ we meet Alysia and Lachlan. Alysia
has lost her best friend and fiancé a little while ago. Everything she ever
dreamed about is now impossible. Alysia hides in her work at the store in
Dulili. Lachlan has had a rough life and now tries to start over in the little
town of Dulili. Soon Alysia and Lachlan become close and slowly on they begin
to learn more of each other’s secrets.

This book was definitely a little different than the
first two in the series. ‘The Healing Season’ isn’t so much about the romance
between Alysia and Lachlan, but more about the way they find strength and
comfort in each other company. This was a very sweet and kind story about
finding yourself when everything suddenly changes.

I didn’t really fell in love with Lachlan’s character as
much as I hoped. I did enjoy reading his point of view. And I loved how strong
he was when he asked Alysia for help with his problem. And I loved reading
about how hard he worked for a ‘new’ life. It was definitely impressive and fun
to read. But he also had this thing about him that made me not quite sure what
to think of him.

Alysia’s character on the other hand was one I really
liked. Although she didn’t think so herself, I found her really strong and
brave. She lost her best friend but still managed to make a success out of the
new store. And Alysia was always kind, to everyone.

I just love the A Dollar For A Dream series. This series
definitely provides for some amazing getaways from the real world. And although
‘The Healing Season’ wasn’t as romantic as the first two books, I really
enjoyed the read. The writing was good, the characters were interesting and the
little town of Dulili was perfect once again.

I just saw the first book on a different blog and thought the concept sounded really cool. So I'm glad to see you're enjoying the books so far.
The concept really is good. Three different authors all wrote a story about life in the same city.. It's just really fun to read and perfect when you don't have a lot of time, since the stories aren't very long.
Thanks for stopping by! 😉
