Book Description:

In this stirring Amish romance about love and second chances, a shunned man returns to protect the wife he left behind—and falls in love with the family he never knew he had.

After a senseless loss, hotheaded Caleb Hochstedler left his Amish faith and his young wife to seek justice. Two years later, he tracks his parents’ killer back home to Johns Mill, where he’s astonished to learn he’s the father of twins. Now he's determined to protect his children and the woman he still loves—if she’ll let him.

Her new husband’s abandonment broke Rhoda Lambright’s heart and proved her father, the bishop, right. Such a stubborn man could never be happy among the peaceful Amish. When Caleb unexpectedly returns, Rhoda is caught between her rock of a husband and a very hard place.

Her church forbids divorce and requires forgiveness, so Rhoda lets Caleb back into their home. But can she ever let him back into her heart? One thing’s for certain sure. This second chance will take all the faith they can find.

My Thoughts: Icing On the Cake

Once again I found myself reading a Laurel Blount book that grabbed me right from the first page. There is intrigue, romance, faith, and many open wounds that need healing, and Ms. Blount blended those elements together flawlessly. Caleb and Rhoda's story grabbed me from the very start and did not let me go for even one second. I just could not put it down. I could say more, but that might involve giving away details that you need to read and discover for yourself. 

However, I will say this. Home from the Storm is the final book in Laurel Blount's John Mill series, and I must say that it is the absolute icing on the cake. It is an absolutely amazing story!  And while it can be read as a stand alone, I highly recommend that you read the entire series. It is just that good!
