Marilyn's thoughts


 

 

This is a clean Amish romance and the second book in the Creektown Discoveries series by Wanda E. Brunstetter. We find Lisa miller filling her day teaching at the Amish school and not building strong relationships with others as she didn't want to suffer more loss. Paul Herschberger came to Sugarcreek to work for his uncle after being jilted by his intended and best friend. He was drawn to Lisa from the start and went slow in trying to win her friendship and trust. Maggie, a stray dog who attached herself to Lisa, brought healing to Lisa with her resilient to overcome the past with unconditional love. There were parts that didn't really fit the story it seemed with the author bringing in characters from book one. Although, Lois and Orley Troyer from the Memory Keeper shop were instrumental in their wisdom, guidance and prayers for Lisa and Paul.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publisher without any obligation to write a review. I have shared my own opinion.
