A Heaven on Earth Novel, #3
The town Hope Falls, is where two people meet; each with their own deep tragedies.
Feisty, Katie Bender, who found her purpose as a teacher, after the death of her fiance in an accident.
Seth Stutzman, who comes to help his widowed brother, Amos and his children, and who is hiding from the hurts of an accident he feels responsible for because of his calling, as a Master Builder.
Both of them find themselves running for cover at the school house with the children,all seeking to escape from a devastating tornado. Seth only plans on staying as long as it takes to help Amos gets things back together and finds its not as easy as he thought and its going to be longer than he thought. Both Katie and Seth begin working together with others in the Amish community to help rebuild it. Spark begin to fly of course, and in the midst of it all is Elias, an elderly man, who just seems to appear and disappear as they need him. He is sent by God, to help and protect them as spiritual warfare also goes on over them and their futures.
I was thankful for the Pennsylvania Dutch glossary in the front of the book, it was very helpful to understand some of the conversations. Most of it was easily understandable but there were a few times I had to look at the glossary to look up a word here or there because of the different words.
I liked the book okay but found it pretty slow moving. I know it was slow in the beginning, giving the reader time to get used to the culture and their language. I haven't read any of the other books in the Series either. There were times I didn't like the heroine, Katie, because she was so selfish but part of the book was about her struggle to grow out of that. It also showed times when she was tender but incredibly misunderstood. Sounds like real life, doesn't it?
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255
