A Time To Heal - Quilts of Lancaster County Series #2 by Barbara Cameron


Christopher Marshall has recently been released from the hospital. He was injured in a roadside bomb attack in Afghanistan and spent 11 months recuperating. While he was in the hospital he had met Jenny and after corresponding with her decides to visit her Amish home. He is able to find the peace he has been looking for among the Plain people. He meets Hannah Matthew's sister and an attraction ensues.
Hannah longs for a family of her own. After Matthew's wife dies, she fills in and loves the role of taking care of the three children and being a Mom. Things change after Matthew and Jenny marry and she returns to just being an Aunt.
You will love the warm feeling of family and the interaction of the adults and the children. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a sweet Amish family story. You will find out a lot about forgiveness!
I received a review copy from the Publisher, I was not required to give a positive review. No further compensation was received, and the opinions are my own!

  2. This sounds like a great read, Maureen! I've never picked up a book by this author, but now I'm definitely interested. I love how the Amish authors can mix contemporary problems with such an old-fashioned setting . . . And thanks so much for linking up today! Blessings!
