Book Review: As love restores Rhoda, a sudden tragedy is the test of faith she never saw coming.

More settled in her heart than ever before, Rhoda Byler feels a newfound confidence living in the Old Order Amish settlement she helped establish in Orchard Bend, Maine. Time has helped to head the wounds of Rhoda's recent severed relationship, and she finds that even her unusual gift of profound intuition is less of a burden as she continues to seek God's wisdom for her future. She is happy to be working alongside the King family and the love of her life as they tend and nurture the settlement's orchard.

Yet when Leah King's involvement with Englischer Landon Olson becomes known outside of the Maine community, her disregard of the Ordnung could threaten all the Orchard Bend Amish are building. In the midst of addressing the discord, a shocking tragedy challenges the young settlement as never before, threatening to uproot Rhoda's peace. 

When several members of the Orchard Bend Farms are displaced, the estranged King brother is called upon to return. Can those who founded the new Amish community in Maine unite? Or will the lingering pain of past hurts and present struggles result in the end of their dreams? 

My Review: Rhoda and Jacob...Rhoda and Samuel...The King Brothers who are different in their own ways. Rhoda falls for one and then the other. Jacob leaves the area to deal with his loss of Rhoda and soon meets a woman very different from anyone he has ever been near. Could she become a friend he needs during this difficult family time or could she be even more? Rhoda wants a life with Samuel that the King father threatens on an everyday basis due to Rhoda's intuition that he believes to be witchcraft. Leah King, the sister of the King boys, falls for Landon, a worker in the Orchard who is an Englischer. When her father finds out, he asks Landon to not have any contact with her for one year. Will Leah and Landon's love survive a year apart?  The cover shows a beautiful blue eyed Amish beauty that gives you a visual of what Rhoda looks like. I like when the author does this as it gives you at least one person that you feel as though you know already when the story begins. Flowers in the background shows the beauty of what you will make out to be the orchard. A wonderful love story and a new favorite author for me. 2 thumbs up!
