AND NOW…THE FIRST CHAPTER:
My Review:
Alright, ya’ll know from my past reviews that I am a sucker for and an avid reader of Amish books…all Amish books! And Gayle Roper did not disappoint! I had been eyeing this particular book for sometime now and when the opportunity arose to review it for a blog tour I did a happy dance! Well, okay, not really, because I can’t dance but I did get super excited and anxious to read it.
This was a light, easy read. It’s a story full of God, romance, sadness, friends and family, and most importantly, faith. Without faith, we as a whole, are lost ones. But this story really hits home with finding that faith and believing in it and becoming a better person with it. All the characters blend together beautifully with the plot. Gayle really created characters that are so life-like that you can nearly reach out and hug them! It is truly a book that captured me from first page and held me til the end. That alone, is a keeper!
When I started reading this book, however, I didn’t know that this was a reprint from a series Gayle wrote in the 90’s. This particular one was, in the 90’s, called The Key. But, since I didn’t read those books then, I was truly happy to have had the chance to read the reprint, that deserves a 5 star rating and two thumbs up! I am now a forever fan of Gayle Roper’s and I anxiously await the release of the second book in the Amish Farm Trilogy, A Secret Identity.
