Book Description:
When the peaceful Amish community of Bountiful, Pennsylvania, is rocked by scandal, the three Yoder siblings must each find their path to love, family, and forgiveness . . .
Waking in the hospital after a car accident, Lovina Yoder doesn’t remember the Amish family who claim her as their own—or the man who says he’s her fiancé. Thoughtful and handsome, Johannes Miller clearly cares for her, and Lovina longs to recall the walks and buggy rides he describes, and the plans they once made. Life in the Amish community seems full of joy, faith, and warmth. And yet, Lovina senses there is something more in her past, just beyond her grasp . . .
Gott has answered Johannes’ prayer to bring Lovina back—but not quite as he hoped. A year ago, she ran away to the Englisher world, unable to face the community after her daet’s misdeeds. Her family hopes that Lovina can rediscover her Amish heart before those painful recollections return. Johannes loves her as deeply as ever, but if she walked away once, will she leave again, taking his dream of home and family with her? Or will the new memories they are making together, day by day, convince her that this Bountiful future is Gott’s plan for them both?

My Thoughts: A Heartfelt and Inspiring Story
As a result of an accident, Lovina Yoder is now suffering from a case of amnesia. Therefore, she doesn't remember her family, the scandal involving her family, leaving her Amish home for the Englisher world, and she definitely doesn't remember her "fiancé," Johannes Miller. As Lovina rejoins her family she works toward discovering who she is and putting the pieces of her memory back together. All the while, Johannes remains by her side where part of him wants her to remember, and the other part of him is afraid that she will.
I was completely drawn into this story from the very beginning. I felt so much of Lovina's struggle and pain as she strived to get the pieces of her memory back. I also felt Johannes' struggle as he toggled between his love for Lovina and his pain at the thought that she might leave again. And I was especially moved by how deep Johannes' love for Lovina was and the impact it had on how much he was willing to help her, do for her and sacrifice for her.
Loving Lovina is a wonderful heartfelt and inspiring story of love, forgiveness, and faith. The story's pacing and details are just perfect in that they keep you drawn into the story and keep you guessing up to the very end as to how everything will come together. Author Patricia Johns has also done a fantastic job of pulling you into the story by making you feel totally connected to the characters as far as what they're feeling, what they're struggling with, and so much more. All of this is a perfect combination that makes this a wonderful story that I highly recommend.
