Family secrets could get in the way of a second chance at love
After her husband dies, Rose longs to be near her family—especially her twin sister, Lillian—so she packs up her young son and leaves their life in Ohio to move back to Paradise, Pennsylvania.
Luke Miller is ready to settle down in Paradise. He soon forms a partnership with Rose to help farm her land. He finds that he’s enjoying the company of the quiet, modest widow and she may be just the woman he’s been waiting for. But is Rose hiding a secret beneath her reserved exterior—one that could keep her from having a future with Luke?
And Rose isn’t the only one concealing something. Luke has a secret of his own, and it could threaten their partnership—and their chance at love.

public relations consultant. Currently I teach English and business
communication online at an adjunct for a major aviation, aerospace, and

Why
I write Amish series: I’ve been intrigued by the Amish and feel I’ve
learned a lot about spirituality and God’s will in our lives since I
first visited Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I’ve returned there often since
then to visit friends. An Old Order Amish friend reads my manuscripts to
check for authenticity before publication.
My Review
The author has given us a story about a woman who is not ready to really
move on in her life after losing her young husband. She does make a
slight move of moving on by leaving her husband’s Ohio community and
settling in Paradise Pennsylvania, moving into her deceased parents’
home.
Then we have a young man who willingly moved to another area to help his cousin and his family. His brother will inherit his family’s farm, so he is looking to buy one.
So, what do these two have in common, being Amish for one, both a single, she has a four-year-old son he seems to adore, but will she be willing to move on?
We become immersed in these people’s lives, and you will be surprised as bombshells are dropped, and continue right to the end.
While I would have liked an epilogue, and a bit more finish on the story, all in all, I did like the read.
I received this book through the Publisher Gilead, and was not required to give a positive review.
