In this moving Amish romance, two broken hearts find hope in each other after a terrible loss.
Unspeakable
tragedy strikes the Amish hamlet of Johns Mill when an unstable
Englischer opens fire in the Hochstedler’s General Store. In the
aftermath, and under the media’s spotlight, Joseph Hochstedler struggles
to hold his shattered family together, drawing unexpected comfort from a
faithful childhood friend.
Born with a serious heart defect,
optimist Naomi Schrock has always longed to live a life of service. She
rolls up her sleeves, determined to help Joseph cope with this terrible
crisis. But dare she hope that his friendship will finally deepen into
love?
As the media’s obsession with the Hochstedler shooting
escalates, Joseph and Naomi find themselves caught between tradition and
compromise, lingering sorrows and uncertain hopes. And in the end, two
people who’ve already lost far too much must find the courage to trust
their hearts one last time.
About The Author
My Review
This book is not like most Amish stories, it is more like watching the evening news, and then gasping, that poor family.
We
are there with the survivors of the Hochstedler family, and yes, there
is anger, and some have survivor’s guilt, will this family be able to
live their faith and offer forgiveness? Or will this be the catalyst to
take revenge and leave their community?
The author has done a
wonderful job of giving us a story that pulls you in and won’t let go.
There are a lot of twist and turns here, and some need to see what is
under their noses.
I loved the ending here, but could have stayed for a long time for updates on this family!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Berkley, and was not required to give a positive review.
