I've been reading Brenda Maxfield's Amish romance novels for a long time now and have ready every one. I check eagerly every month or two for the latest and always read them the same day. The sweetness, the authenticity of the characters and their lives always fulfills me. This time I couldn't recommend one of her stories more. A difficult topic that she once again handles with empathy and care. I was totally sucked in from the first chapter. Smiling and crying!!
Truly beautiful story, I could read it again. Elaine and Jonah were both so good together. Boaz was not the man for her, he seemed to only think of himself and what he wanted
