MY THOUGHTS.....
Welcome back to Willow Springs, Pennsylvania, for a powerful reminder that we're all susceptible to family problems! This fifth book in the Amish Women of Lawrence County revolves around the romance of Allie Mast and Reuben Raber but it certainly isn't all light and sweetness! Allie and Reuben's courtship and marriage are put to the test as they work to overcome his mother's doubts, the Amish bishop's strong concerns about Allie's Mennonite heritage, and Allie's increasing resentment toward her mother-in-law's interference. Saloma Raber perfectly exemplifies a meddling mother-in-law so I could understand Allie's thoughts and actions, but I could also see that Allie and her mother-in-law were more alike than they were willing to admit!
Author Tracy Fredrychowski is a master at creating characters that we all can relate to, and this is a perfect example of flawed people willing to change. It is an intriguing story of love, acceptance, forgiveness, and finally, redemption. There are references to the first four books of this series, but a first-time reader should have no trouble getting into this story. I enjoyed Allie's Amish Family Miracle and I look forward to the next book in this series.
I received a complimentary copy but there was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.
