About this listen
For a proper young Amish widow struggling to begin again, encountering her reckless first love will test her forgiveness, resolve - and heart....
Overwhelmed by grief and tending twin baby daughters, Rosmanda Lapp is without options. She still blames her brother-in-law, Levi, for her husband’s accidental death - but she and her aging in-laws need him to keep their farm going. Yet as Levi takes on his responsibilities with a new determination and steadiness, she can’t help but regret that she chose his serious-minded brother over him. For Levi is still very much the passionate man she loved - and Rosmanda now has even more reasons to keep him at arm’s length....
Levi can’t blame Rosmanda for staying clear of him. He has mistakes to make up for and must finally do right by his parents. Still, he never got over his brother stealing Rosmanda away. And he can’t deny the feelings that even now tempt them back to each other. And when a mistake from her past threatens her reputation, Levi will do whatever it takes to help her - and trust that faith and courage will at last help them claim a future together.

As a bishop's daughter and good Amish mother, widowed Sadie Hochstetler teaches her young son that God blesses those who try their best to please Him. But her brief marriage taught her that life is infinitely more complicated than that. Older, and serious, her late husband seemed a sensible choice - especially compared to Elijah Fisher, the spirited boy with whom she butted heads and hearts. Then Elijah abruptly left for the Englisher world, taking Sadie's beloved brother along with him - a double betrayal she still strives to forgive. Especially now that Elijah has returned....

Raised by her loving grandmother, she lives a life filled with good friends and hard work.

Leaving her family and church seems like her best move, even though it would mean leaving Nathan Yoder behind. Nathan claims he’s in love with her, but she knows she’s not good enough for him. And if she is ever in doubt, Nathan’s father reminds her frequently. Knowing Lydie is “between” jobs again, the local doctor asks her to fill in at the front desk for a few months. This gives Lydie time to figure out how she’s going to say goodbye to Nathan

Great Narration and Great Story Overall
This is a great and well-written book! My only issue is that it is basically the basic same story line as the first book in the series. Different characters in different situations, but it is still the man who is convinced he isn’t good enough and a woman who says the same. I felt like I basically listened to the same book as the first one. I am going to give the next book a shot. I just hope the basic storyline has some differences!

I enjoyed this story
This story had it all. Juvenile mistakes, grownup faulty thinking, petty gossip, secrets, forgiveness and love. I was satisfied with the resolutions.
