A young Amish widow who is mother of two is going through the motions of life when a 'different' kind of Amish man happens along and makes her believe in love again.What I liked:  I liked the cover art, Amish don't like having their pictures made so a photo of an Amish woman with her back turned on the cover was very appropriate. I liked the premise of the story.  The idea of a young widow doing the work of both mother and father while wondering if that is all her life has in store for her is a very interesting idea.What I didn't like:  I could feel no connection to these characters.  The author spent no time in character development.  The author simply told a story.  Maybe that was the point since Amish are simple to tell a story simply.  I don't know but, I didn't enjoy that.  I feel like an opportunity was missed to really explore these people and that opportunity was missed.  Also, there was no real arch to the story.  No climax.  Simply a story of a woman who decides that a stranger with a checkered past is worthy of her hand in marriage. It was just kind of boring.  I would probably not read this author again and unless this is a free download for you and your just looking for something to pass the time, I probably wouldn't recommend it.
