This story is about Lizzy Ryder who wishes for the perfect man,
an upstanding, hardworking, God fearing gentleman, who will fulfill her
every need. But the man her friend, Clara, introduces her to is nothing
of the sort. But Clara’s dying wish is for them to be together.
Zack Shrock wants more than anything to redeem his shady past,
but can’t trust himself to stay on the right side of the Amish ways, and
even more so, on the right side of God.
When Clara promises to bring Lizzy the man she’s always hoped
for Lizzy starts making big plans for his arrival. But is it what Lizzy
expected?

My Review:
Lizzy Ryder has written to Zack, he has jumped the fence, or
after being Baptized Amish, left. He returns just in time to help save his
sister Clara’s life; he did just that, by putting her in his car and driving
her to the hospital.
Clara’s illness is very serious, and Lizzy and her Amish
Community are rather frantic, everyone loves and cares for Clara. Zack has to
face his past and his future by being around his People, but he is shunned.
I so enjoyed the interaction between Lizzy and Zack; they
have grown up together, and acted like family their whole lives. Then the
unthinkable happens, and they have to depend on one another for survival, and
there appears to be danger lurking, and very strange things happening. I found
this part of the book to be very interesting, and you never know what is going
to happen next. Strange things are happening here, and you wonder just how bad
the danger is and if the old fear Lizzy has is connected.
From the beginning to the end I had to wonder if Zack would
return, and if his family, other than Clara, will accept him. Also the rest of
the community, some seem willing to turn their backs on him, and most seem to
avoid him. What could have happened to make him leave where it seems he really
wants to be. The answer will astound you and make you very sad, will he be able
to return and accept the peace that seems to have followed him home? Will Lizzy
and Zack become more than friends? How about Clara, will she survive? Most of
the answers are here, and when you get to the end you are going to want more.
Yes we there is a preview of the next book, can’t wait!
I received this book through Booketeria Blogger Program, and
