I really enjoyed Ms. Fields' first series, Faith and Hope in Lancaster, and so when I saw this one, I just had to pick it up! And I'm so glad I did!!! I was up until 2am reading--couldn't put it down!This book is ultimately a tale of redemption for all of the characters as they have to cope with their own mistakes and shortcomings while at the same time helping and caring for the important people in their lives. I fell in love with Abram as he grew into himself, first caught in the loss and sense of betrayal at his fiance Mary's leaving and then later as he develops an (at first reluctant) relationship with the abandoned child he finds in his barn. Katherine, the teacher with whom Abram begins to form a bond, is also a fascinating character, and Ms. Fields does the runaway fiancee justice in her own right, charting Mary's life outside of the Amish community as she struggles to discover her true place in the world.In short, this is a heartwarming tale of love, redemption and hope which will, if you're like me, have you up into the wee hours of the morning turning pages to find out what happens next.
