This is a little late in coming, but better late than never! This book released last month in April, but it's one you don't want to miss if you enjoy Christian or Amish fiction. It isn't your typical Amish story by a long shot. I had read the first chapter and I was really surprised at the turn it was taking.
A short synopsis from Goodreads:
Old Order Amish wife and mother Jemima has put her marriage and family ahead of herself for years. She's set herself aside. Raising four children, she's followed all the rules and has been patient in looking forward to her time to chase a dream of her own.
But when she finds out that her life savings for pursuing that dream is gone--and her husband, Roy, has been hiding a child with another woman--her entire world is shattered. Will she be able to listen to God and love Roy's child? With so much at stake, how can she and Roy fix their relationship before their lives come crashing down?
I really enjoyed this story. Firstly, because it didn't go down the regular path of an Amish story and secondly, it was about forgiveness. We all could use a little of that. There is the other subplot of Roy's sister and a newcomer to town. I enjoyed Roy and Jemima's story more but it was still engaging. If you enjoy this genre, I think you will really enjoy this one. Cindy and Erin never disappoint in my opinion.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book. No review was required.
