As Ellie and Lloyd spend more time together, they begin to develop feelings for one another, but she accidentally betrays his trust. Will she lose any hope of a future with him?
My Review:
Amy Clipston is one of my favorites! Each one of these short stories holds a story all its own yet they are connected in unique ways. I love the way the portray the Amish life. The simplicity and the laid back ease of everyday life. Yet they love God and they honor Him in their daily life. It is always touching to read Amy's stories and even though sometimes the things that happen in her stories seem sad they usually end on an upbeat note.
These four novellas have love and romance running throughout. Whether it is a wedding, a funeral, or just a new romance. Each story lends its on to a celebration of love and light that has a common thread of God in each one. The author gently weaves their dependency of God and the importance of Him and all He means to them. The stories are light and full of love. Very great read!
