Following your heart isn’t always simple…
Choosing between her community…
and the man she still loves.
Five years ago, Hannah Lapp walked away from Gabe Bartel, crushing their dreams of a future together. She couldn’t break her parents’ hearts by marrying a Mennonite man and leaving the Amish community. Now Gabe is back as her town’s new EMT. And Hannah’s heart is on the line all over again, because this time she can’t imagine letting him go.
Marilyn’s thoughts: Her Forbidden Amish Love captured me from the start. Hannah Lapp is a caring, sweet and obedient young Amish lady with all she does for her family, employer and community. Hannah had secretly dated Gabe Bartel but they had been separated for a few years. Gabe being an EMT accepted a job in Miller’s Creek knowing it could be ended by being grant funded but he wanted to win Hannah back, knowing she was Amish and he was Mennonite.
The scenes are descriptive and dialogues where I felt all
the emotions from the freezing cold of the blizzard to the adrenal rush of EMT
calls. How will Hannah handle criticism when she volunteers to help raise funds
for the local EMT services in Miller’s Creek?
Hannah’s and Gabe’s story is beautifully woven together with
drama, affection, a hint of mystery, new respect and understanding of the
necessity of using EMT services that Mennonite Gabe could provide if he
remained in Miller’s Creek. A lovely ending of letting go and letting God
direct lives with faith, love and admiration.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author
as a giveaway winner on Facebook without any obligation to write a review. I
have expressed my own thoughts. I look forward to reading more books by Jocelyn
McClay in the future.
