Leslie Gould's new series beginning with
Amish Promises is off to a great start. Families, relationships, friendships,
and faith play a prominent role. Eve Lehman portrays loyalty and faithfulness
to the highest degree. She has made a promise to a friend that has died to help
see her children raised even if she never marries and has a family of her own.
Her brother, still grieving, remains a hard task master. He doesn't want to
allow his family to have anything to do with the englisch as he blames them for
his sister's supposed indiscretions of the past.
The English family consists of a pregnant
wife who works as a nurse, her husband who has a physical disability and
suffers from PTSB due to his service in Iraq, and a 12 year old son who just
needs friends his age to escape the stress at home.
Two families, one English and one Amish,
each struggling with their own issues and losses and each finding common ground
exists between them.
Eve Lehman develops a friendship that
slowly becomes something more with the English friend of her neighbors,
Charlie. Charlie's kindness and loyalty go far to help the healing for both
families. Eve and Charlie's relationship forms the catalyst for all that
transpires within this story.
I highly recommend this book. It is worth
your reading time and might deserve a spot on your keeper shelf. I am looking
forward to more of this series.
I received this book for an honest review
from Netgalley.
