This book had me laughing, crying, and thinking deeply about what makes a marriage work. It’s everything an excellent book should be.

I appreciated that the English and Amish family members were close and embraced each other as a community. Through this connection, they were able to show each other the pros and cons of both lifestyles. Faith spent much of the story searching for happiness in a marriage that may not have been realistic, which ultimately contributed to her divorce. As she reflects on her failed marriage—and eventually her own shortcomings—she begins to realize all that she lost. I really liked this about Faith. Sometimes people never recognize the part they played in a broken relationship. While Trent reflects as well, it seems he needs more of a direct intervention to acknowledge his role.

The characters throughout the story were rich and well-developed, and it made me so happy to know that another book is coming. I really want to see more of Hope and Elaine—and also Sarah and Eddie. Patricia, can this be a longer series? Please?

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Rating: 5 out of 5.
