With her heart – and her loyalty – on the line, can she let true love in her life?
Every year, young Amish men descend on the cozy little town of West
Kootenai, Montana, arriving in the spring to live there for six months
and receive ‘resident’ status for the hunting season in the fall. They
arrive as bachelors, but go home with brides! Lydia Wyse, a book editor
from Seattle who grew up Amish, returns to the small community of West
Kootenai, Montana to give comfort to her father after her mother’s
death.
She is drawn back to the familiar Amish ways after finding her
mother’s most precious possession, a Promise Box of prayers and
scripture. What her publisher sees, though, is an opportunity for a
sensational ‘tell-all’ book about the Amish. Lydia soon finds herself
falling in love with Amish bachelor Gideon Hooley. She wants nothing
more than to forget her past and look forward to a future as an Amish
bride. Will the pain of her childhood—and her potential betrayal of her
community—keep her from committing her whole heart?

My Review:
What a wonderful read, the second book in the Seven Brides for Seven Brother's series...and equally as good!!
Pull
up a chair and get comfy for a return visit to Kootenai, Montana. We
reunite with some old friends, and make new and lasting friendships.
Here we celebrate life, and morn death with loving friends and
neighbors.
We meet Lydia Wyse on the road to her parents home, she is
now English, and coming home to Wake her Mem. She is working now at
editing books, and has left the Amish way of life. The peace she
encounters in the valley here thrills her, and she stops to take a few
picture....totally not an Amish thing. She has an encounter, and really
not a pleasant one with Gideon Hooley. He was patiently trying to win
the attention of a horse. A wild fellow named Blue, when they are
disturbed by Lydia.
From this meeting though, a few sparks fly. Will
Lydia be able to return to the Amish? Will Gideon be able to let go of
the secret that has been haunting him, and move on with his life?
There
is also the ever present feeling that Lydia has about her birth, will
she accept what her birth Mem did? She was brought up in a loving Amish
home, with parents that adored her. A lot of her questions are answered
in her Mem's Promise Box.
Be ready for a wonderful, heartwarming
book, and all of your questions get answered. I loved that the story is
followed right to the end! No cliff hangers here, PTL. Enjoy!
I
received this book through Litfuse Publicity Book Tours, and the Tricia
Goyer launch team, and was not required to give a positive review.
