Okay – here I am with another Amish book review. I’m sorry I love them!
The Wonder of Your Love was a great book! I love all the detail Beth Wiseman, the author, puts into the book. The main character Katie Ann is a new mom and a recent widow. She’s not looking to love again, especially since her deceased husband ran away with someone else before he passed. Eli Detweiler comes to town to visit neighbors. He’s a widow too, but he raised all six of his children on his own and is not looking to start all over again. They meet and become friends, but soon discover they have more in common than they realized. I love reading about the land, makes me kinda want to move north – just a little.
I really enjoyed reading this story and can’t wait to read more Beth Wiseman books! It’s such a sweet love story and I love all the kindness and gentleness you just don’t get from other love stories.
About the book:
Katie Ann lost the love of her life. Then God offers her a new beginning in Colorado. Katie Ann Stolzfus lives in the small Amish community of Canaan, Colorado. At forty she is widowed and raising her first child. But baby Jonas will never know his father, and Katie Ann wonders if her Heavenly Father hasn’t forgotten about her as well. Is it really God’s plan for her to be a single parent? Eli Detweiler has come to Canaan for a wedding and a long vacation. Having raised six children following the death of his young wife, Eli is finally an empty-nester. He’s enjoying the slower pace of having no one to care for but himself. When Katie Ann and Eli meet, there is an instant connection. Yet as strong as the attraction is, they both acknowledge that a romance would never work. He is done parenting, while she has just begun. But as their friendship slowly blossoms into feelings that are as frightening as they are intoxicating, Katie Ann and Eli question if the plans they made for themselves are in line with God’s plans. Can Katie Ann entrust her heart to another man, and rediscover the wonder of God’s love?
