"The Amish Widower" Book Review
The Amish Widower Book Review
by Virginia Smith
Book Description:
Is It Time for This Widower to Give Love One More Chance?
After the devastating loss of his second wife, Seth Hostetler believes a lasting love is beyond all hope. A year has passed, and his mamm and sister are determined to see him happily married once again. But how can he open his heart to another woman when their relationship could end in tragedy?
On an outing with his family, Seth comes across an Amish potter hard at work and jumps at the chance to take a seat at the wheel. He takes quickly to this creative outlet, pouring his long-buried emotions into each piece he shapes. Unfortunately, the fancy nature of his art draws the disapproval of his district's leadership.
His work puts him in the path of Leah, an Englisch woman employed by the Amish to sell their wares to tourists. Despite her aloofness, something about her speaks to Seth's wounded soul. But what is he to do when the things he wants most threaten to pull him away from the life he's committed to live?
A compelling novel of second chances and the power of God to redeem hearts and dreams, set in the inviting Amish community of Lancaster County.
MY REVIEW: Who doesn't love a romance that offers second chances at love ? This one is about an Amish widower who has lost two wives and doesn't think he can risk his heart again, and yet, Leah causes his heart strings to stir. She is Englisch though so their relationship is forbidden to him. He would have to give up everything or she would have to become Amish. What are the chances of either of these things taking place for Seth? His heart has suffered so much tragedy and suffering more would just be too heartbreaking. Is he willing to risk it all? or will he remain as he is?
This is a sweet romance and I think readers will agree. I am rating this book 4 stars and highly recommend it to readers who love Amish fiction, romance, or Christian fiction.
I received a digital version of this book from netgalley and Harvest House Publishers in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.
