Second Chances is the second book written by Samantha Bayarr in her Brides of Willow Creek series. This story continues on with Miriam who I really disliked in the first book. Now in this book I found my heart going out to Miriam and all that she had endured in her life and the trials she faced now.

The author has done an amazing job telling this story. I definetly believe in second chances after reading this heartfelt story. The emotions dosplayed throughout this story will have the reader wanting more. I enjoyed this story so much I was sad to see it end but I am sure that the author will continue it on in the next book. I am anxious to read the next book to see which young Amish woman will marry next.

I was not given a complimentary copy of this book to read and review. I was not approached by anyone to post a favorable review. I have rated this book with five stars for meeting my expectations of a wonderful story that I can highly recommend to others.

Congratulations to Samantha Bayarr for writing another fantastic story for her readers to enjoy. This is an amazing series.

Wow a awesome book. So many lies have been told. But yet two men want to be in her life . I love all the characters that kept me intrigued and interested in going to beginning. The storyline continues in the second book that I read. I love the story that shows heartache and Truth that can be told as long as you stop with the lies that you have been doing all your life basically.

Amish Brides of Willow Creek: Book Two: Second Chances
By: Samantha Jillian Bayarr
Samantha’s second book in the series is just as good as the first. Miriam, a vain, beautiful, lying, manipulating Amish girl, flaunts her beauty until an accident leaves her scared in more ways than one. As Miriam struggles with the mess she has gotten herself into, two men vie for her hand in marriage. Whom will she choose and why? Is there really someone out there for her; will she ever have friends and family she so desperately craves? Some unexpected twists and turns, you won’t be able to stop reading. As with Bayarr’s previous books, Second Chances is a great read for young girls, and is void of language, violence & inappropriate behavior.

Amish Brides of Willow Creek: Second Chances (Book 2)
By: Samantha Jillian Bayarr

This is such a wonderful series. I had so many emotions going on in me reading this book. There was times I wanted to give Miriam a talking too. I just love the characters/ There are times you will just love Miriam and other times you can't stand her. Miriam who has been told to leave her community because of lies. She is unwed shunned and has decisions to make. After she has made all kinds of enemies how can she make a home here and what man would want her? This story has a lot of twist to it keep you guessing just what decision she will make. Loved it looking forward to book 3. 5 star book.

This book really made me feel for all of the characters especially Miriam. She is very stubborn and thinks that she knows what is best in her current situation. With all of the lies she has told she has been banned from the community and has little to no friends left at all. Her prideful nature makes her want to hurt others only to benefit herself.

Miriam will make you go from feeling sorry for her, to wanting to give up on her from her lack of empathy for others. She will learn that what she wants and what she needs are two very different things.

Very well written book.

This writer is a Christian writer and I love to read her books. In this book 2, I love the way she has the same characters that we fell in love with from book 1. My favorite characters in this book was Miriam and Ray. After an accident, Miriam felt her life was over, could Miriam trust her feelings with Ray when she had plans to be with Adam?

Decisions

Near tragedy from a buggy accident caused much confusion for a semi-Amish young, but pregnant girl.

The real question was whom shall I marry?

The way Mariam changes in this story is amazing. The way Ray loves her after she hurts him so badly is unbelievable. You won't be able to stop reading this book.
