Life is full of joy when it's least expected in this sweet Amish romance from the author of The Gift of Hope.
Joshua Kanagy’s older brother has left the family gift shop business, which is wonderful gute for Aaron, but not for Joshua. Horses are his talent—raising and training them. But how can Joshua step away from the shop when his parents have already had to give up the dream of leaving their legacy to all three of their sons?
Enter Joy Yoder, a determined, if sometimes misguided, helper who always manages to drag Joshua into her schemes and promises. Only now her focus turns to finding a solution to his problem, partly to distract from her own. Her mamm has her heart set on Joy marrying the minister’s son, and she’s not sure she wants to.
Joy gets the grand idea to propose to Joshua, offering a partnership of convenience rather than love. But as the wedding approaches, Joy starts to develop feelings for Joshua. Is it possible Gotte’s plan for Joy includes faith, friendship, and love?

My thoughts: THE GIFT OF JOY is a sweet read about two childhood friends who decide to marry for a way for both of them to get what they want in a job. What's love got to do with it? Joy has an amazing ability to get into trouble though, so Joshua is constantly having to rescue her. And what about the man who her parents want her to marry and the plans Joshua's parents have for him? This was a fun read and I enjoyed it. I look forward to reading more by this author. If you like Amish romance you will love this book. I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
