Publisher’s Description:
When Micah Miller’s brother and sister-in-law are killed in a buggy accident, he’s devastated. But he fulfills the promise he made when their twins were born seven years earlier: to raise Abby and Isaac should tragedy strike. Still, coping with the children’s grief as well as his own, requires extra support. Micah takes them to a counselor who recommends animal therapy. He’s surprised to find an Amish farm that offers just that . . .
Hope Graber had to find a way to save the family farm after her daed’s health forced him to stop breeding horses. Providing animal therapy proved to be the answer—thanks to the help of expert trainer Logan Russell. Together, they not only pay the bills, they make positive changes in children’s lives. Hope loves working with each child, but she takes a special interest in the Miller twins. She even makes Micah smile again—and he does the same for her. In fact, as Micah emerges from his depression, he longs to make them one happy family. But will Hope’s debt to her Englisch trainer, and their close partnership, stand in the way?

My Review:
This touching and emotional story grabbed me from the very beginning and did not let go of my heart until the very last page. Rachel Good’s stories are always beautifully written and I think this may be one of her very best yet.
I loved the example that Hope Graber set for all of us in this book. She was kind, compassionate, and forgiving, even when she had been wronged by her father. She unexpectedly came upon the accident that took the life of the twins’ parents, and she gave of herself to help the twins, even when she did not know them. Micah, too, was a great example of putting family needs before his own interests. Their romance builds at a good pace throughout the story, and they both had to weigh family needs before their own happiness.
Family and faith are the main themes of this book, and I enjoyed reading this story. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy Amish fiction.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
