review 1: I really enjoyed this book. Lucy had a hard life, she was in an abusive marriage and her trust was broken. It isn't easy to trust again. She meets Calvin on a train ride and he is broken hearted his girl left him for his best friend. Needless to say i think there are some trust issues there too. But together they find love, restoration, and the trust they both needed in their lives. She was a caregiver to her cousin Mattie who was fighting cancer. I so wish the book would of let us know that she beat cancer's butt. That part of the storyline touched my heart since i am a survivor myself. I hope her faith in God is restored and she can lean on Him in the difficult road of chemo and recovery. Without Him i don't know how you can make it through that. But truly enjoyed thi... mores story.
review 2: I haven't given an Amish book a 4 star rating in a long time because they always seem to follow the same story line. This series however has addressed issue's that don't seem to fit the Amish profile. We want to believe that real life doesn't happen to these very plain and closer to God then most people. This book touched on an abusive husband and although it never really touched on what this culture of people would do or thought the pain and hurt it caused a women is in no doubt different. They also hit on cancer and the long battle it can become but the faith of the Amish prevails and the peace and joy that we know them for does shine through. less
