Where does her heart belong?
Marianna Sommer returns to Shipshewana, Indiana, with her long-intended future husband, Aaron Zook, to help her brother Levi and his girlfriend prepare for a baby—and their wedding. She also needs to plan her own marriage to Aaron. But things are not as they seem. Levi is adamant the baby Naomi carries isn’t his, but he doesn’t know who the father is. And Aaron seems to have secrets, his personality becoming more like his disapproving mother’s.
Not to mention, Marianna isn’t entirely certain she’ll be able to forget the handsome English singer/songwriter who lived in a cabin in Montana, Ben. As Marianna struggles to find her footing in the stricter Amish community in Indiana, will she be able to give up past hurts and past loves and focus on the future? Or could the secrets that are carried by others impact Marianna’s decisions and where she truly belongs?
BEYOND HOPE’S VALLEY is the third and final book in Ms. Goyer’s A Big Sky series. Readers will want to read these books from start to finish, Along Wooded Paths, Beside Still Waters, and BEYOND HOPE’S VALLEY, as the stories all tie together.
The series wrapped up the way I wanted it to, in a way, which made me glad, but the story lacked the passion that Ms. Goyer has in her World War II novels. It is a very good Amish story, and very well told, and I enjoyed it much. BEYOND HOPE’S VALLEY is a sweet ending to this series. Some recipes are included at the end of the book. $14.99. 390 pages.
About the book:
Beyond Hope's Valley – Book Three in the Big Sky series
After an extended stay in Montana, where Amish traditions are different than in her home state, Marianna Sommer returns to Indiana for two reasons, first to help her brother and his girlfriend prepare for a baby and their wedding. Second, to plan her own wedding to Aaron Zook -- a marriage she’s been dreaming about ever since childhood. And yet, although she had missed the idyllic farms and families of her upbringing, Marianna is surprised that Indiana is somehow making her long now for Montana.
As months pass, secrets that were hidden in winter’s frozen grasp thaw and take on a life of their own. The truths about a child, about a past relationship, and about God’s plans are being revealed. Walking through a valley of questions, Marianna must hold on to hope as she decides where and with whom her heart truly belongs.
