review 1: A sequel to Waiting for Summer's Return, Where the Heart Leads gives us a look into the Ollenberger's lives once again. Written in that same magnificent way as the first, Ms. Sawyer's book had me quickly captured til the end!!! Young Thomas Ollenberger fancies himself to be a journalist, so, with his parents' blessings, he sets off to the city of Boston where his stepmother's family lives to attend school. He leaves behind his parents, his friends, and a young woman he's befriended. He doesn't want to hurt her, but while in the big city, he meets someone who quickly catches his heart and it quickly tests his faith and his background, leaving him torn between staying in Boston or returning to his Mennonite family back home in Kansas. The problem is, this beautiful city girl... more isn't allowed to know God. Can Thomas set aside that one fact, and fall for her anyhow, or will his friendship from home with a woman who shares his beliefs be more??Find out in a novel that will make you smile, and possibly cry...it did me!!! Many high praises have been written about this book and I have to agree with all of them!! This faith inspiring book is a super great read! Ms. Sawyer is the Karen Kingsbury of Mennonite/Amish fiction!!!!
review 2: a great sequel to the other 2 in the seriesenjoyed the personal conflicts, and the bit of history tossed indoesn't matter who are, nor what color, nor what religion ... we have SSOOO much in common!!! why are so many others SSOOO blinded by hate and fear of differences that we must "box" people into categories, and "box" ourselves into boundaries, and ... and yet, still try and call ourselves "Christ-ians"?! what's so Christ like about THAT??? too many Christians are so NOT like Him!!! 8^( less
