Book Description:
She thinks she’s done with romance
But love has other ideas…
When newly widowed Hope Lambright moves to Indiana with her three sons, the last thing on her mind is romance. And much like his new neighbor, widower Amos Yoder thought love was part of his past. But when Hope boldly asks Amos for a job at his Amish outdoor market, he finds he can’t say no, and soon their professional relationship blossoms into something more. They’ve both loved and lost once. Will they be brave enough to risk their hearts for a second time?
My Thoughts: Loved This Story!
I absolutely loved this story! Amos and Hope's story is so much more than just a story of romance and faith. It deals with many real-life issues that are not dealt with very often.
Changes, effects, and difficulties associated with new stages of life
Changes, effects, and difficulties of starting over in the unfamiliar
The importance of community support
Effects and difficulties associated with unexpected situations, regardless of the person's age
Difficulties young people face, especially in trying to deal with changes
Tough love
Although I know these issues are dealt with in other stories, author Vanneta Chapman's descriptive writing brings them so much to life that it makes the reader feel every bit of what the characters are going through. And though this does come up often, I love that this story deals with a second chance at love during a later stage in life rather than at a young age.
All of this makes for a wonderful and endearing story that should not be missed.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and comments are voluntary and completely my own.
