My Review:

I’ve read and enjoyed many of Jennifer Spredemann’s Amish books, but I think that this one is now my favorite.  That’s because I admired one of the main characters, Justin Beachy.  He showed great unselfishness when he agreed to marry a young woman that he didn’t really know in order to hide the true circumstances of her pregnancy, even though this unfairly marred his own reputation.  As Lucy and Justin learned to know each other through their marriage of convenience, they soon found they had much in common and seemed on their way to a happy life together.   However, things did not always go as they hoped as they faced an unexpected consequence from Lucy’s past decisions.

The author took this story in a way that I didn’t quite expect.  She choose to have her characters show God’s love in the lives of all the characters, and how God’s forgiveness and grace can work for good in our lives.  So many authors would not have chosen this twist in the storyline, and I found it refreshing.  I’d recommend this book to you as both enjoyable and thoughtful reading.

I voluntarily received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
