Who would have thought it? Amish stories that are about and deal with deception, secrets and decisions to leave the Amish Community. Such is the Sisters of the Quilt trilogy. But, dear reader, please don’t keep this from picking up this book. Having read When the Heart Cries, When the Morning Comes and When the Soul Mends individually and at different times, I thoroughly enjoyed being able to reread them going from one story to the next.
Hannah was raised Amish, while Paul comes from a Mennonite background. They met when Hannah worked for Paul’s grandmother. As the years went by, their friendship grew and eventually blossomed into thoughts of marriage. Now comes the problem. Will Hannah leave the Amish? Will Paul join the Amish? After a tragic attack that has left Hannah pregnant, her father makes the decision not to tell the community about what has happened to her. So, how does she explain her pregnancy? When learning of the pregnancy, Paul questions what has happened, but is unable to reach out to Hannah in support. After the birth and death of her daughter, Hannah decides to leave and search for her aunt in Ohio. In the next book Hannah has found her aunt, meets a young man and begins to move on in her life. All seems it is progressing until Hannah and Paul cross paths in the third book. Will Hanna stay with her former finance or with the Englisher who has also captured her heart? I leave it to you to find out.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
