The Promise of Easter by Marta Perry
The
Promise of Easter by Marta Perry, book five in her
Promise Glen series, is an inspiring
and heartwarming tale of forgiveness and holiday celebrations in the Amish
community. Matthew King has returned home to Promise Glen
after an extended absence, feeling a bit like the prodigal son with the shadow
of his best friend’s death still looming over his shoulder. While most everyone
welcomes him back with open arms, Anna Stoltzfus still blames him for her
brother’s tragic accident. The more time they spend together, however, the more
he desperately wants her forgiveness; and her love. Anna and Matthew were
wonderful and caring people who had to let go of the hurts and obstacles
keeping them apart. As the story progresses, those feelings and stirrings of
hope that the first signs of spring as well as Easter bring; that promise of
new life and restoration can be found between the lines. Not only for Matthew
and Anna but also for another family hurting and in need of grace.
Ms. Perry wrote a wonderfully sweet and moving story that had me feeling all the emotions; smiling, tearing
up, crying of heartbreak, and the handling of mental well-being. The message of
love, faith, and forgiveness stood strong; making this sweet and inspirational
read one I could not put down, drawing me in, making me forget it was fiction. I
highly recommend The Promise of Easter to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a
complimentary copy of this book.
