Book Description:
A friend from her past…
A new dream for their future?
Single dad Curtis Moore has returned to Apfelkuchen, Pennsylvania, with a dream to revitalize the town—if only he can unite its Amish and English residents. When local businesswoman Hope Taylor offers to care for his spirited toddler, Lucy, he jumps at the chance. Hope figures this is exactly the experience she needs. Not only is she planning to open a day care, but she’s expecting her first baby—her late husband’s child. As tensions rise over his development plans, Curtis and Hope grow closer—and they must decide if the heart of the town’s future might just lie in the growing love between them.
My Thoughts: Heartwarming
An Amish Country Lullaby is a heartwarming second-chance story that, with the help of a mischievous little escape artist, reconnects Hope and Curtis. Each of them has had a lot to deal with, and this played flawlessly into their reconnection and developing relationship, making it deeply touching.
Along with their relationship is the importance of community, which includes a lesson in how what we think is a perfect master plan may not be. This part of the story had me wondering as to how it would be resolved, and I must say that the resolution was spot on. It really drove home how trusting the Lord and seeking His will and guidance vs. seeking our own way is always the best.
The blend of romance, faith, and inspiration, along with the contributions of the escape artist, makes this a touching must-read.
