Book Description
After a devastating loss, Cindy Riehl is still searching for peace. Will she find it in the community she calls home—or will love send her down a new path?
Over the last few years, Cindy Riehl—the youngest of the Riehl children—has watched her siblings find love and happiness in Lancaster County. But as her family has settled down and grown, Cindy has continued to grieve her mother, whose death left an enormous hole in her heart. Since that haunting day, Cindy has struggled to find peace and wonders if the community is the place for her—and if her faith in God will ever feel the same as it once did.
When a handsome and kind Englisher named Drew crosses Cindy’s path one surprising day, the two of them become fast and easy friends. Drew dreams of starting a family after some losses of his own, and before long, he and Cindy discover that their feelings for each other are romantic. As they spend more time together—often in secret—Cindy is drawn further and further away from the Amish community and the family she loves. In time, she is faced with a difficult choice that threatens to upend her world.
Will Cindy find contentment and love, and will she ever find restored comfort in God and her beloved community? In this final installment of the Amish Homestead series, we return to the charming town of Bird-in-Hand for a story of healing, family, and God’s perfect provision.

My thoughts:
I had often thought of Cindy Reihl throughout this series and have been curious as to what the future held for her. I find myself doing that when I read this authors books because I get attached to her characters. Cindy is the youngest in her family and has had the most difficulty dealing with the death of their mother, so I was looking forward to reading her story.
Let's just say that I never expected a cow named Cucumber to play a role in her meeting the young man who would become so important to her. There is an obstacle in their way as he is English hand she is Amish. Out of all the young men she could meet, Drew was the one who held her heart but of course that didn't go over so well with her family and friends. The one thing that I have admired about Cindy is that she has remained steadfast in her refusal to settle for anyone just for the sake of getting married and raising a family. I think she has believed that would happen when the time was right and she would be with the one she was meant to be with.
The path to true love and happily ever after isn't easy and through the ups and downs, the highs and lows, Cindy and Drew have so many obstacles to overcome before they can finally have the lives they both deserve.
I received a copy for this book from the publisher through Netgalley but was under no obligation to write a review. All opinions are my own.
