Critic reviews

"Lillard's evocative prose, well-drawn protagonists, and detailed settings result in an inspirational story of romance, faith, and trust." ( Library Journal)

This is a good story that I enjoyed reading and I think you will too

This is a wonderful story that is about youth, love, second chances, forgiveness, and family. It is worth your time in reading and will have you evaluate your thoughts on love family and giving someone that second chance. One of my favorite parts in the story is when Trey made a true sacrifice and gave the beautiful gift to his daughter, the gift of family.

Thoughtful treatment

I thought this was an interesting book, and it was thoughtful in its treatment of Caroline's situation and the decisions that needed to be made. I like that Trey was not made out to be a villain, and I liked the general storyline. I couldn't figure out exactly when the heroine and Cody supposedly fell in love. I didn't really feel it.

Trey's unexpected kindness

I loved the unconditional love/genuine friendship that everyone showed Carolyn. Regardless of her sin.

A great read

I loved this book and the story line. I loved the performance as it kept my attention and I had a hard time turning it off. I’m an avid listener of audio books but this was my first title by this author. I have already added every book in this series to my wish list. So glad I stumbled on this!

I LOVE Amish books!!

I’ve found a new love in Amish romance novels. But I’m not a fan of how abruptly they end. I’ve listened to several different authors and have found this to be true for each one of them.
