In the middle of keeping our home show ready to sell and planting the garden I have been so busy. Yet ~ when this book came in the mail I could not wait to read it. Oh my stars ~I so enjoyed this book. This is one you will want to add to your summer reading list.
I had read the first book and I was so excited to dive into this second book ~ Seven Brides For Seven Bachelors Series.
Lydia Wyse returns home to attend her mom's funeral and help her dad through the days that are ahead without Mem. She leaves behind a career as a writer in Seattle but she plans on returning just as soon as her father was able to handle things on his own.
Lydia had been running ever since her mother had told her that she was adopted. She was sure she wasn't Amish at heart and was looking for what she was missing. Yet~ the funeral makes her return to the Amish community and the love of the parents that had adoringly waited and prayed for her to return. Her Mem had prayed so long for her to return yet she never could find the time to go back.
Lydia is full of guilt when she finds The Promise Box that her mother had used to store all of her treasures and keepsakes. In it was all the answers to all the questions Lydia was searching for. If only she could have read these things while her Mem was still alive!
I love how this story ends ~ what an amazing adoption story.
About The Promise Box:
With her heart - and her loyalty - on the line, can she let true love in her life?
With her heart - and her loyalty - on the line, can she let true love in her life?
Every year, young Amish men descend on the cozy little town of West Kootenai, Montana, arriving in the spring to live there for six months and receive 'resident' status for the hunting season in the fall. They arrive as bachelors, but go home with brides! Lydia Wyse, a book editor from Seattle who grew up Amish, returns to the small community of West Kootenai, Montana to give comfort to her father after her mother's death.
She is drawn back to the familiar Amish ways after finding her mother's most precious possession, a Promise Box of prayers and scripture. What her publisher sees, though, is an opportunity for a sensational 'tell-all' book about the Amish. Lydia soon finds herself falling in love with Amish bachelor Gideon Hooley. She wants nothing more than to forget her past and look forward to a future as an Amish bride.
Will the pain of her childhood-and her potential betrayal of her community-keep her from committing her whole heart?
