Sometimes the greatest act of courage is trusting your heart…
After loving and losing the perfect husband, widow Rosemary Mishler can’t imagine ever marrying again. Yet the small Amish community of Bliss Valley keeps playing matchmaker—and the arrival of newcomer Gideon Wingard only makes things worse. But when a little Englisch girl is abandoned in her kitchen and is discovered to be her late husband’s child, Rosemary realizes that her perfect husband clearly had some secrets of his own…
Gideon left his community to escape the matchmakers—only to stumble upon more. And he can’t quite steel himself against the pull of Rosemary’s somber gray eyes and his need to help her with the small kind who’s been left to her care. With his feelings for Rosemary and the little girl growing stronger every day, Gideon can see himself putting down roots in Bliss Valley. But is the hope of love enough for him to plan a future…and a family?
This is such an emotional story,
it pulled me from the very beginning. My
heart went out to Rosemary Mishler who is mourning the untimely death of her
husband, a man she loved unconditionally and trusted completely. I liked Gideon Wingard who came to Bliss
Valley with the intention of escaping matchmakers only to encounter more of the
same in his new community.
What we think is perfect isn’t
always the case, especially when you find a young child in your kitchen and
that child is the daughter of your deceased husband. I loved watching the relationship flourish
between the two main characters and the unexpected but eventual love and acceptance
of the child that was left behind.
This is such a wonderful, heart
wrenching read with characters that I still think of long after finishing A
Hope for Healing,
I received a copy from the
publisher through Netgalley. Opinions are my own.
