Harvester

Faith Sullivan

After the sudden death of her difficult husband, Nell Stillman finds herself alone and nearly penniless in early-twentieth-century Minnesota, responsible for raising her beloved young son. In the close-knit town of Harvester, she must confront poverty, social expectations, and an uncertain future while building a new life from the fragments left behind. The enduring friendships she forms—and the imaginative world opened by the books she reads—give her courage, solace, and a renewed sense of possibility. Tender, atmospheric, and richly attuned to the resilience of ordinary lives, this novel explores motherhood, community, grief, and the transformative power of literature.
