review 1: A Very Good Read!Jenny is a war correspondent who has been injured when a car bomb blew up near where she was standing. She goes to stay with her Amish Grandmother while she recuperates. Next door to her Grandmother's house lives Matthew a widower with three children. Jenny and Matthew became close in the past as teenagers when Jenny would visit her Grandmother in the summer time. Matthew's three children become quite smitten with Jenny and the feeling is mutual. Josiah a church elder isn't pleased that Jenny is around. He is afraid that she will bring the Englisch world into their Plain world. As the story line unfolds Jenny finds that she is in need of another surgery. Jenny has feelings for Matthew. She believes she can never have children because of the severe injuries... more that she suffered. How could Matthew love a woman so broken?I found this book to be not only a good read but a fast one too. Once I started the book I couldn't put it down. Barbara Cameron is an excellent story teller that keeps you coming back for more. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, A Time to Heal. I highly recommend this series to all fiction Amish lovers.
review 2: I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I thought it would be a bore but I thoroughly enjoyed the story about Jenny and her journey to love. I thought it was realistic up to the point where she decided to give up her lifestyle and marry Matthew. I felt it would have been a tad bit more believable if there had been a bit more toiling in her thought processes about giving up her current lifestyle to join the Amish faith. Maybe that will be expounded upon more in the series. The connection between Jenny and Annie pulled at mY heart strings as well as the development of her relationship with Mary and Joshua. I loved her strength and vulnerability. I'm glad I read it and not passed it up for something else with a quilt on it. less

This one started out pretty well, but I found the last third to be rushed and not great.
