About The Author

Samantha Price is a best selling author who knew she wanted to become a writer at the age of seven, while her grandmother read to her Peter Rabbit in the sun room. Though the adventures of Peter and his sisters Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail started Samantha on her creative journey, it is now her love of Amish culture that inspires her to write. Her writing is clean and wholesome, with more than a dash of sweetness. Though she has penned over eighty Amish Romance and Amish Mystery books, Samantha is just as in love today with exploring the spiritual and emotional journeys of her characters as she was the day she first put pen to paper. Samantha lives in a quaint Victorian cottage with three rambunctious dogs.

My Review

Delightful page-turner with lots of family love, and all the challenges that go along with family life, and promises of a new beginning, especially for the grieving widow Anita Garber.
When the story begins we journey with her from the home she made with her deceased husband to her brother’s home in the Lancaster PA area. Her brother Amos seems rather harsh, and abrupt with his family, and seems his desire is to see his recently widowed sister married.
I had mixed vibes with Amos, but he does seem to have his sister’s welfare as his primary concern.
This is one fast read, and when it was over I had a sense of loss, I wanted to stay with these new found friends!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Author Samantha Price, and was not required to give a positive review.
