LOVE FINDS YOU IN LANCASTER COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA
Two women with nothing in common -- except the need for a friend and a fresh start. When Amish-born Lydia Ann Raber and Southern belle Caroline DeMarco discover a shared history of loss, the unlikely duo decides to open a gift shop in beautiful Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Lydia Ann is surprised to find herself drawn to handsome woodworker Simon Zook. When God offers her a second chance at love and family, will she take it? Or will the secret Simon harbors cause her even more heartbreak? For Caroline, love comes in the form of journalist Michael Landis. Their love-key romance is a dream come true for Caroline, a fugitive from an infamous past. Is Michael to blame when reporters start hovering once again, or can Caroline find a way to trust him with her heart?
My Review:
There is something so hopeful about second chance love stories and Love Finds You in Lancaster County Pennsylvania is brimming with that quality. Daughety has created two winning romance stories that merge into one heartwarming read. And it's great for Amish toe-dabblers since the plot evenly balances both Amish and contemporary storylines.
Daughety surprised me a time or two when she veered away from predictable plotting, make this a quick and refreshing read. Lovely, pure romance -- though it's not without angst. I especially liked the way Caroline and Michael's relationship developed -- from wariness, to friendship and then something deeper. It felt so honest and real. Simon and Lydia Ann's journey is much gentler -- sweeter and the contrast between the two really sharpened the story.
Once again the Love Finds You series and Summerside Press has created another winning book in this amazing line. Many thanks to Amber at seasonsofhumility.blogspot.com for introducing me to this great series!

Kav,
ReplyDeleteI loved your reference to "Amish toe-dabblers!" Personally, I'm an Amish foot-dabbler, and can never seem to get enough. ;) Have you read Annalisa's first Amish book--LFY in Charm, Ohio? Another great read, and I believe some of the characters in this book are present in that book.
Would love to sign up for the giveaway!

This sounds like a heartwarming book about friendship and second chances. I don't read a lot of books set in Lancaster Country, but I can well imagine it is a place that unites and nurtures its habitants.

Oh -- lucky you, Karen, to have visited Lancaster County. I'd love to do that someday. Good luck in the draw!
ReplyDeleteHey NS, you've nailed it -- it's definitely a heartwarming story. You're in the draw.
If you go Kav, you need to see a Light and Sound production. They're amazing reproductions of Bible stories on a wrap around stage with real animals. I love how the Love Finds You series is introducing us to areas all over the US.
ReplyDeleteAnd one Canadaian town in PEI! I gobbled that one up as soon as it came out. We need more Canadian cities represented. There you go, Sandra, something to do in your spare time!
ReplyDeleteI would love to read this book, it sounds really great. I enjoyed reading your review and also find myself to be an Amish toe-dabbler, I love some Amish stories and I'm intrigued by reading your review! Thanks for the giveaway!

I just had to read the LFY in PEI:) I love how much the woman on the cover looked like Anne of Green Gables.
ReplyDeleteHey Courtney, good luck on the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI know, Charity. I am a HUGE Anne of Green Gables fan and I agree that cover did look like Anne Shirley all grown up
