Review of “The Widower” by Jennifer Spredemann

PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION

He needs a fraa, and a mother for his kinner. She wants someone to love. Could their meeting be a match made in Heaven?

Emily Miller loves tending her garden and roadside stand, but she admits her love life is dull. While she’s ridden home from singings with several young men from her community, none of them fulfills the image her mind’s eye conjures up. She wants a man who is not only kind and hardworking, but responsible and loves children. So, when shy widower Titus Troyer shows up at her roadside stand with his adorable kinner, something tugs at her heart.

Titus Troyer made a fool out of himself when he prematurely asked Martha Miller to marry him and attempted a courtship with her, and he doesn’t ever intend to repeat a mistake of that magnitude again. But when vibrant Emily Miller, Martha’s younger sister, meets his eye at her family’s roadside stand, he can’t deny his attraction. But would a pretty, and very available, young woman like Emily even give a man like him a second thought? More importantly, can he summon the courage to find out?

A sweet love story about finding love when you least expect it.

My Review:  

Within the first few pages of this book, I was drawn into the story of Titus Troyer and his young family.  Titus was a genuinely good guy that had suffered deeply after the tragic death of his wife. He’d left his job to care for his three young children, but never thought he’d marry again—-until he saw Emily Miller. Even though Titus is ten years older than Emily, they begin courting and soon realize they have deep feelings for each other. However, Titus had some deep-seated fears that threaten their relationship, and he soon begins a journey of faith that will change his life forever.


My heart was touched as I read about the struggle Titus had with the fear and anxiety that threatened to overwhelm him.  It’s a theme that many readers can identify with and the author did an excellent job of showing that our true security rests in Jesus.  

This is now my favorite book from Jennifer Spredemann, and I’m looking forward to the next book in this series.
