Book Description:
This could be her one chance
To win his heart…
For years, Eliza Zook has been content to love Gabriel King from afar. But when an injury forces him off the farm and into the Amish gift shop alongside Eliza, she has no idea how to act around her secret crush. Working side by side, it seems that opposites really do attract…but can the single mother convince the rebel that he’s worthy of love?
My Thoughts: Beautiful Story
At first glance Eliza Zook and Gabriel King are as different as night and day. Yes, they’ve known each other for years, but they don’t really know each other. However, as they work together, they get to a deeper level of knowing and understanding each other. In doing so, they find that each one struggles with a deep seeded issue which is the key to much of the way they deal with things. This discovery impacts not just their relationship, but also some family relationships.
While I was cheering for Eliza and Gabriel, I was beyond frustrated with one character. I could not embrace the why behind the actions and behaviors. The effects those actions had on Eliza and Gabriel had me frustrated more than once. However, Gabriel in his wisdom made some very insightful comments that spoke to this type of behavior. Those comments held a very deep and true message, not just in the story, but in real life. They also changed my feelings of frustration to feelings of hope, especially for Eliza and Gabriel.
When you put it all together, The Secret Amish Admirer is a wonderful story of love and faith. Add to that some great words of wisdom that are woven in and you have a beautiful story that is a definite must read.
