review 1: I don't know why, but this book didn't seem as good as previous book by Wiseman. I read the entire Daughters of the Promise series and the book before this one in the series and I have to say this one was a disappointment. I like Katie Ann, loved her a mom and I like Eli, though I found him quite selfish at times and I don't mean his desire to travel, but you think he could have figured out travelling would be more fun with Katie Ann and Jonas, right? I didn't care for Martha, her beau, Danielle or Lucy. I understand the 3rd book is centered around Danielle, so I am ending my run of this series.
review 2: Good book. Katie Ann is raising her child alone after her husband left her and then died in an accident. She has good friends in her Amish community an... mored at a wedding meets Eli Detweiler. He is visiting from his home in Indiana, where he has just married off his youngest daughter. After seventeen years as a single father, he is looking forward to living his own life and doing some things that he wants to do. He and Katie Ann find that they have a lot in common and enjoy talking to each other. Both of them have friends who keep trying to fix them up with potential mates, but neither is interested. They decide that they would like to be friends, but agree that a relationship is just not possible. I really liked both Katie Ann and Eli. Katie has trust issues stemming from her husband's desertion. She is quite happy to be Eli's friend. She is surprised by how good he is with her son, as Amish men aren't generally very hands on with infants. She enjoys hearing about his plans for travel and their letters back and forth have been satisfying. There is also a physical attraction, but their differing life paths indicate that nothing will come of it. As their friendship grows, Katie finds herself falling in love with Eli. Eli is an unusual Amish man. He did not remarry right after his wife's death but raised his children on his own. Now that he has an empty nest he is looking forward to doing the things he dreamed about when he was younger. He likes Katie Ann and is attracted to her, but is not interested in starting over with a new family. As their friendship progresses he can't understand why he is so drawn to her when she is the opposite of everything he currently wants. The more he travels the more he finds he wants to spend time with her. I loved the way that their relationship developed slowly and Eli's solution to their living arrangements was perfect. I also enjoyed the other characters in the story. Martha was just as fun in this book as she was in the first. I really liked her faith and the way she was like a mother to Katie Ann. I loved her dealings with Danielle and look forward to seeing more of her. less
