Book Review: She's heard about forgiveness all her life, but how far does God's mercy truly reach?
Lindie Wyse thinks an arranged marriage is the only way to preserve a future for herself and her unborn child. Josiah Plank is certain he''ll never be in love again, but he needs someone to care for his deaf eight-year-old daughter, Hannah. The two take on their arrangement tentatively at first but soon realize they are each in for more than they imagined. After a short time, Lindie experiences a breakthrough with Hannah when she recognizes the child's special gifts, but a risky pregnancy and serious health issues threaten to demolish the foundation Josiah and Lindie are building--and the love that is growing between them. Will their marriage survive their struggles, or will their hearts become as cold as the northern winter?
My Review: Like most Amish novels, the cover of this book shows a beautiful young Amish woman, this one, red haired and with the skin of a porcelain doll....already you are in for a wonderful story before the book is even cracked. The author had one heck of a mind of thoughts when she came up with this one. I love the way that she created a story around a girl who had done wrong, or so it seems and spun it into a completely intriguing story! I could not put this book down!! Though both characters in this story were very cold to each other in the beginning, it was amazing how they warmed up...especially him in a small amount of time. The father-in-law in this book was a great example of explaining how the Amish wives are supposed to be when it comes to their husbands. What a breath of fresh air Josiah brought to this story being nothing of the sort! Seeing him wait on Lindie, putting her on a pedestal, even when his feelings did not go the way a marriage should. It gave you that feeling that you wanted to have through every inch of this book...that Lindie would come out of her shell, Josiah would have a change of heart and they would fall madly in love! Want to find out just exactly what happens....read this book :)
