My Review:

Vannetta Chapman has given us an engaging story about Abigail Yutzy. She’s a young pregnant widow, living in a new community, who finds herself facing an impossible situation. Because of her pregnancy, she’s physically unable to take care of her farm. She is also facing a dire financial situation that seems almost impossible to solve. Bishop Ezekiel sends Abigail some help in the person of Thomas Albrecht to help her manage her property. Abigail wants to handle everything in her own strength, but soon finds that Thomas has some good ideas about running her farm. As she experiences the warmth and love of the Amish community, she begins to hope again. However, she doubts her heart will ever be able to trust enough to find love again.

Abigail’s story is compelling. As we follow her journey of learning to trust and hope, it’s a great reminder to us to trust God to make a way for us and to accept help from our friends when needed. I loved Abigail and Thomas, and enjoyed reading their story.
