THE WISH
Second chances come at the most unexpected times...
Widow Laura Beth Yoder longs for a family of her own. So much so that she's preparing to leave the sleepy Amish town she calls home to find love. But a terrible storm washes out the creek, forcing her to wade in and save the life of an Englisch man and his adorable infant son. As they recover at the farm, the baby brings sunshine and joy, while the handsome outsider is filled with shadows...and secrets.
Joshua King owes his life and his son's to Laura Beth. Still, lingering at her farm is out of the question. He must fulfill a promise he made to his estranged wife on her deathbed to deliver their son to his Amish in-laws. With his dark past, Joshua has no other choice. But his plans never took this sweet and surprising Amish widow into account. She just might be his second chance at happiness...and love.
My Review:
There's something magical about a Patricia Davids story and I'm over-the-moon excited about this new series -- The Amish of Cedar Grove. I'm already in love with this community. Love the unusual setting for an Amish romance and found the differences in this Kansas settlement really interesting (the author provides a 'dear reader' note at the start of the novel explaining unique aspects of the Kansas Amish.)
I fell hard for Joshua even though he made my heart hurt and frayed every last nerve! He's closed-off, grumpy, wary, angst-riddled...prickly as a porcupine at times. But none of that can totally mask the kind, caring, gentle man buried deep inside. Laura Beth sees past the hurt to all that tenderness yearning to surface. And if anyone can turn Joshua's life around it's this determined (aka bossy) Amish widow who has tender yearnings of her own. Davids expertly weaves their love story into the day to day workings of this close Amish community. A beautifully paced, stirring romance that celebrates faith and family and the hope in second chances.

If the rest of the books are like The Wish is definitely will be. Good luck, Melanie!
DeleteIt is always so interesting to learn of Amish communities in different states. The cover is beautiful, with the lavender field. There are actually several lavender farms here in TX, where one can visit and purchase plants and specialty products. I visited one with my ladies' group....fragrant and fun!
ReplyDeleteI just Googled and found several farms in Kansas. Thanks!
That would have been a fun group activity. I love lavender. Had some in my garden but it was close to the road and it didn't do well. I'm guessing the salt from the plows pushing snow onto the edge of the garden was the culprit. Funny, because I have this hardy rose bush there as well and it thrives every year no matter what the city dumps on it. I guess lavender is more delicate. Must try some in another spot. Good luck, CC!
DeleteWhat can I say! Patricia Davids as the author, an Amish story, a gorgeous cover in my favorite colors that makes you want to walk into that scene and then engulf the pages under it. Thee is nothing else to say other than THE WISH is on my TBR list and I'd love the opportunity to read it.
