A lovely, engaging tale of new starts in life, of forgiveness, trust, and daring to take the leap of faith to open your heart to love. From the very beginning, I was pulled into the story. The main characters are charming and likable, they are easy to relate to, they have their issues and challenges, their secrets, yet they are brave, kind, giving, smart, and hard-working.
I adored Rachel and her story, her tough military career, her survival spirit, her eagerness to serve, her loving spirit, and her delightful daughters. She has such a big heart, open mind, and clever wit.
And Isaac was just the perfect mate to her. Isaac was known for his perfectionist tendencies, and for him to realize the difference between perfect and perfect for him, to learn to trust his heart to love and feel instead of just being practical was a beautiful journey to witness.
The chemistry between Rachel and Isaac was intense. Yes, it was sweet, clean, and adorable as well, but in a cleaver way, the author showed the attraction burning in between them without making it awkward.
A quaint and timely tale of volunteers working to rebuild a town after flooding damaged homes, only to be faced with another hurricane. In the midst of the mayhem, a widowed mother of two cute girls meets the leader of volunteers who captures her mind and heart, as they both heal from old wounds and broken childhoods.
A beautifully written, inspiring, and entertaining story that warmed my heart and lingers in my mind.

A sweet and enjoyable read that I finished in a few hours.
I love Jo Ann Brown. She makes her characters seem realistic and believable. I also like how she pulls
you into the story from the beginning of the book.
This story has many interesting themes going on. Love of course, faith, forgiveness, and hope.
The thing I didn’t really like was the jealousy. Jealousy can be many things and can lead to misunderstandings, hurt, anger and many other things.
Secrets I don’t really like either as they can hurt other people. Sometimes making you not want to trust that person anymore.
I highly recommend this book. I love these short and sweet books. They’re very relaxing too.
My thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review and all opinions are my own.
This is the third book that I have read in this series, so it was nice to meet up with some of the past characters, who do play a role in this book.
This time it is Isaac who has his heart turned with the arrival of an Amish widow with two sweet little girls, and they meet in rather upsetting way, at least for his shoes!
We journey as this community is attempting to get back on its feet after a devastating flood, and they are almost finished with the rebuilding, hoping to be done by Christmas.
Widow Rachel Yoder is hiding a big secret, especially for an Amish woman, and as it unfolds we don’t know if she can stay in the safety of his world she want to be apart of.
This story has a little of many things, jealousy, Faith, forgiveness, and hope for the future!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.
