A Promise of Forgiveness by Jo Ann Brown
Naomi and Samuel’s
story in A Promise of Forgiveness by Jo Ann
Brown, book two in the Secrets of Bliss Valley series, is an emotional, tug at your heart strings, sweet Amish romance.
In this sweet, heartwarming story we witness Naomi learning to trust her heart
as well as Naomi and Samuel letting go of the past. Naomi
Ropp is a recent widow with twin two-year-old mischievous boys, trying to
recover from the betrayal of her now deceased, abusive husband. After a recent
change in circumstances, Naomi is returnied to her father’s home in Bliss
Valley, shocked to learn that her father has Samuel King working for him and
living in the dawdi haus. Samuel and two of his friends were her tormentors
when she was a teenager. If that isn’t enough, Naomi is confronted by a woman
who tells her an bizarre tale about her parentage. Not knowing what to make of
this information she decides to put it on the back burner for now. Then a
newborn is found abandoned on the porch of the dawdi haus. Thankfully, Naomi is
certified as a foster parent and able to take in the boppli. When another
tragedy occurs, forcing Samuel and Naomi to work together to care for the
members of her family, feelings grow between them; but Naomi still struggles trusting
Samuel. Samuel must find a way to show Naomi that he has changed and is sorry
for what happened in the past. Throughout, Naomi’s endurance and strength will
be tested as well as her ability to forgive; especially forgive her former
tormentors.
Ms. Brown wrote a
wonderfully sweet, uplifting and moving story with an abandoned baby, a busy buggy business, an
impressive memory, a lost sister, abuse, bullies, and finding forgiveness. The
story is a touching one, at times gut-wrenching, and brings forth lessons of
forgiveness and redemption. I highly recommend A
Promise of Forgiveness to other readers.
