A Hope for Healing by Jo Ann Brown

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5

Naomi and Samuel’s story in A Hope for Healing by Jo Ann Brown, book four in the Secrets of Bliss Valley series, is an emotional, tug at your heart strings, sweet Amish romance; that pulled me in and didn't let go until I turned the last page. In this sweet, heartwarming story we witness Rosemary Mishler who lost her husband in a hunting accident; believing she will never marry again, as she felt that Eddie was the love of her life. Gideon Wingard moves to Bliss Valley to rent her shed to start his leather shop and with the intention of escaping matchmakers only to encounter more of the same in his new community. When a woman shows up in his shop and gives him a letter to give to Rosemary and tells him she left something in the kitchen for her and does not want it back, he gets curious of what it is. When he gives Rosemary the letter and they are shocked to find a little girl. When she reads the letter and finds out it was her late husband’s daughter, she realizes that Eddie was not perfect.

 

Ms. Brown wrote a wonderfully sweet, uplifting and moving story that included: a sweet romance, new beginnings, an abandoned child, forgiveness, and justice, along with every day Amish life. I loved watching the relationship flourish between the two characters and the unexpected but eventual love and acceptance of the child that was left behind. There are numerous surprises here, some will make you smile but others are hurtful and harmful. The updates from the previous books are wonderful, but know that this story can be read alone. This is a wonderful, heart wrenching read with interesting and caring characters. I highly recommend A Hope for Healing to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
