Book Description:
Love is worth every challenge.
Woven deeply into the Amish community of Wells Landing, Oklahoma, a women’s quilting circle is a place to share everything from recipes to hopes and dreams, especially when love is in the air...
The youngest member of the quilting circle, Clara Rose Yutzy has her whole life ahead of her. And it’s just beginning, with plans for a wedding to her longtime beau, Thomas Lapp. Everything is falling into place, which is why Clara Rose resolutely ignores her newly warm feelings for her best friend, Obidiah Brennaman. There’s never been a hint of romance between them, and no reason to pay attention to such nonsense now...
Steady, sturdy Obie feels differently. He’s never thought too hard about his future, but the news that Clara Rose is about to be married is strangely unsettling. Convincing Clara Rose to take another look at their friendship may not be easy, but Obie is certain God intends for them to be together. He’ll do whatever he must to make Clara Rose see how much he loves her, and with the Lord’s help, before it’s too late…
My Thoughts:
In More Than a Friend, Amy Lillard brings us back to Wells Landing, Oklahoma, where she introduces us to some new characters while reconnecting us with others. One of the new characters is Clara Rose Yutzy, a young woman who is soon to marry Thomas Lapp. Clara is excited about her upcoming wedding until her best friend, Obidiah Brennaman, tells her he has a bad feeling about it. This announcement doesn’t sit well with Clara, and she can’t understand why Obie would say such a thing. Obie offers no reason for what he said, but continues telling her he has bad feelings about the upcoming marriage. While Clara and Obie have been the best of friends forever, Obie’s declaration ends up causing a bit of a strain on their relationship as well as her relationship with Thomas. What is Clara to do?
More Than a Friend is not just a lovely, sweet romance, but also a story of faith, friendship, determination, and sacrifice, thus making it a very enjoyable and worthwhile read.
