Pockets of Purpose is an engaging and emotional read that captured my heart from the beginning. The long distance relationship between Dixie and Gideon blossomed through their exchange of letters.  When Dixie had an opportunity to visit her friend Mariah in Holmes County, Ohio she was excited she would be seeing Gideon again. Gideon career was being an auctioneer, which I loved for his profession. He had strive and worked hard to be the best one around. Without any symptoms he found himself with a raspy voice and unable to “cry” the auction sales. Gideon felt forlorn with the news of his doctor and shut himself away. Dixie was perplexed why and even hurt with him not coming to tell her or seeing her afterwards. How will the two of them ever be able to become a couple with shattered dreams?

 

This beautiful Amish romance is filled with trials, unexpected news but caring and loving characters that gave new hope to the hero and heroine. There is a theme of forgiveness and that God’s ways and will are higher than ours when we open our hearts to Him to lead the way.

 

I highly recommend Laurie Stroup Smith to Amish fiction readers. This is her second book in her Pocket Quilt series. Pockets of Promise book one introduce readers to Dixie and Gideon when he was visiting in Pinecraft, FL. This book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading book one first.

 

I received a complimentary e-book from the author without any obligation too write a positive review. I have shared my own thoughts for this beautiful story.
