Shelley Shepard Gray’s first book in her Charmed Amish Life series is set in the quaint Amish village of Charm, Ohio, and tells the stories of the Kinsinger siblings who are each struggling to find both forgiveness and love in the face of tragedy.
Three months ago, everything changed for Darla Kurtz and her family. Darla’s father was responsible for a terrible fire at Charm’s lumber mill which killed five Amish men. And though he, too, lost his life, the town of Charm hasn’t looked at her family the same since. Even Lukas Kinsinger—with whom Darla used to have a close friendship.
Now her brother’s anger at the town is spilling over onto Darla, and she has the bruises to prove it. The accident already cost five lives, but if something doesn’t change soon, Darla fears it will cost her—and her family—even more.
Lukas Kinsinger wants to mourn the loss of his father, but he can hardly find the time to breathe. Suddenly the head of his father’s lumber mill and responsible for taking care of his three siblings, he’s feeling the pressure. He has also never felt more alone—especially with the new tension between he and Darla. But when he learns of her troubles at home, Lukas knows he can’t simply stand by and watch. Someone has to help her before another tragedy occurs.
As Lukas and Darla attempt to repair their families, they discover something deeper than friendship growing between them. But will Lukas and Darla’s love be accepted after so much loss? Or will the pain of the past overcome any chance of future happiness?
My Review:
Shelley Shepard Gray hits the nail on the head, every time! She has a real knack for writing fiction any time I see a chance to read her latest I jump on it quickly. She has a rather large fan following because she writes in a way that draws you in immediately and her writing holds on to you till the last page. She is a really great writer!
Her latest, A Son's Vow in the first book in her latest series entitled, Charmed Amish Life. In it we meet Darla and her family and learn that her father responsible for a fire that killed 5 Amish men. Darla's family has lost so much due to this tragedy and she is afraid that it only getting worse because her brother has intense anger toward the town as a result.
Darla's close friend pre-fire Lukas also lost his father and it has put quite a bit of tension between the two of them. But soon Lukas sees that he will have to put all of this aside to help his friend before something else bad happens and more people get hurt. But will romance result between the two of them?
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the author.
