Book description from Amazon.com:
“After tragedy claimed her husband’s life and her son’s ability to walk, Hannah King doesn’t want a new man. She has her family, a home and mounting debts. Scarred Amish bachelor Jacob Schrock offers Hannah the job she desperately needs. But while Hannah helps Jacob resolve his accounting issues, can she and her little boy also heal his wounded heart?”
My Review:
This may be my very favorite story ever from Vannetta Chapman.
This is a tender story of redemption and restoration after an experience of great loss. Jacob’s scars are external, but Hannah’s scars are internal. Both struggle to trust God with their futures. Jacob does not feel worthy to have a family; Hannah must face the future as a single parent taking care of her disabled son. The storyline reveals their struggle to be independent and not lean on their family and faith for the support they desperately need.
The author has done a wonderful job telling their story. I so identified with Hannah’s struggle to give her child’s physical struggles to God and trust Him for the future. This book is more than just a great story. It’s a call to all of us to trust God in those times we can’t always see the next step we need to take. Thank you, Vannetta Chapman, for the encouragement found in this sweet story.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
Thanks so much for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed Hannah’s story.
