I second the recommendation! It's a lovely, cozy book much in the style of "Little House"... Definitely a comfort book :)
I don't think the Mitford books fall into the trap of being preachy, but they definitely are more "in your face" about Christianity. I'm trying to think of others where it's as subtle as The Year of Plenty, and I know they're out there, but they've skipped my memory for now. Possibly Christy and Julie by Catherine Marshall? It's been too long since I've read those last.
Oh! The Sweetgum Ladies by Beth Pattillo. Can't believe I forgot that one.
Perhaps Leaning on a Spider's Web by Jennifer Rees-Lacombe? Again, it's been too long since I've read that last... which is a shame as it's an AMAZING book.
