Review: Mary's Calico Hope by:A Blackburne

 

About the Book:

Mary Yoder Is Content Despite Challenges Thrown Her Way
 
Full of faith, hope, and romance, this new series takes you into the Heart of Amish country.
 
If God wills it, Mary Yoder will do it, even if that means using crutches for the rest of her life. She was badly injured in a buggy accident as a child. Still, she is content living in the Dawdi Haus connected to her parents’ farmhouse and with her work weaving baskets and raising specialty roosters whose feathers she uses to make excellent trout lures. She is truly happy at twenty-nine, but. . .she wouldn’t mind finding a husband—if the Lord wills it. Along comes Reuben King, a Mennonite doctor. They are attracted to one another, but how could they ever be together? She’s a baptized Amish woman, so it seems impossible. Also, he wants her to have surgery to improve her mobility and lessen her day-to-day pain. She’s sick and tired of surgeries! But if God wills it, she’ll do it. And just maybe there will be a way for these two unlikely souls to connect.

My Review:

 Mary is a faithful servant to the Lord. Whatever God wishes her to do she most undoubtedly will stand up and do it or crawl if she has to. Makers no difference to her. Her life has always been complicated so one more thing that was out of place was the fact that she may never marry. But she felt that the Lord's will may not include that for her so she must find contentment no matter what. And that she has, until Reuben King came to town. 

 They both take an interest in each other. Of course the plans that Reuben proposes isn't what Mary had on her bucket list so try as she may she will look for the Lord's leading in this, as well. 

A very well rounded story about a girl with a servants heart!
