My Review:
Please note: This book deals with the loss of a child. If that’s emotional trigger for you, you may not want to read this review.
This is not a “boy meets girl, happily ever after” type of book. Instead, it’s a true look at the internal struggle that can happen when great loss and faith collide together in a tragic circumstance. There’s also hope and healing, and Emma’s story is about the journey to reach that point.
In this book, Tracey Fredrychowski has given us a storyline that’s very true to real life. Emma is deeply grieving the loss of her unborn child. Her grief is closing her off from her family and friends, and she’s finding it almost impossible to move forward in life. Although her husband, Samuel, is also grieving, he’s having a difficult time understanding the depth of Emma’s grief. But it’s not only the loss of her child that Emma is grieving, it’s the loss of her faith. She’s beginning to question the Old Order’s beliefs, and that sends her on a search to find what she truly believes about God and how He works in our lives.
The author did an incredible job of guiding us through Emma’s search for comfort and true faith. At times, it was difficult to read about Emma’s grief and it was almost as though I could share in her sorrow. However, the transformation that Emma goes through is worth reading about her struggle. I am so glad that the author clearly shows the way of salvation through faith in Christ. That’s the transformation point for all of us, and this story will definitely have an impact on the reader. Please don’t hesitate to read about Emma’s journey from despair to hope. You’ll be glad you read this book.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tracy Fredrychowski is a country girl, author, homesteader and everything simple living. She has a passion for writing about the simpler side of life, much like the life she lived growing up in rural Pennsylvania. Her life has always been intertwined with the Amish, and it’s only fitting that she has a genuine passion for their simplicity, sense of community and God-centered lives. Growing up in Northwest Pennsylvania she spent her childhood immersed deep in Amish Country. The clip-clop of horse and buggy woke her each morning as Amish men drove past her childhood home on their way to work. As a young woman, she was traumatized by an Amish murder that involved a family member and changed her life forever. Even though she currently lives in South Carolina her travels take her through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin’s Amish Country every year. During those stops, she researches the communities she visits and prides herself on writing Amish fiction that truly represents the Amish culture. She considers herself very fortunate to have made friends in those communities and values the information they share and wants nothing more than to represent their lifestyle as accurately as possible.
