By The Mustard Seed Grove

Can a man scarred by the past become a safe place for others to heal?

Adam Charles lives a quiet life on a goat farm in rural Maine—the only place that ever felt like home. Haunted by a childhood marked by abuse and shame, he’s spent years hiding behind routines and fences. But when two children, Zach and Phyllis, arrive at his door with wounds that mirror his own, Adam is faced with a choice: stay guarded, or become the man they need.

As the three begin to form an unlikely family, a woman named Faith enters their lives—kind, strong, and hiding her own broken pieces. Together, they navigate grief, hope, and the hard work of trust. But it isn’t until a boy named Eli shows up—carrying a burden so heavy it could break them all—that redemption begins to spread beyond the farm… and into the heart of a fractured town.

The Goat Farmer’s Redemption is a deeply moving Christian novel about healing from trauma, rediscovering faith, and becoming a vessel of grace for others. With rich characters, emotional depth, and spiritual insight, this is a story for anyone who’s ever wondered if God can truly bring beauty from brokenness.

One man’s healing. Two broken children. A town forever changed by grace.
