"Rachel's Dream" Book Review
Rachel's Dream
(Hope Chest of Dreams #3)
by Lisa Jones Baker
Book Description:
Patience, faith--and the hopes and dreams within their hand-carved hope chests--help to bring three young Amish women, one by one, the blessed futures their hearts desire...
Rachel Kauffman and Jarred Zimmerman seem to have nothing in common. She's the outgoing youngest of a large, close-knit Amish clan, and longs to raise a brood of her own near those she loves. Estranged from his family by tragedy, Jarred is a young veterinarian who trusts the animals he heals far more than he trusts people. However, when Rachel's beloved horse falls ill, Jarred's struggles to save him show Rachel he's a man who cares deeply. And the respect he feels for her gentle warmhearted ways soon becomes an irresistible bond...
When Rachel tries to help Jarred reunite with his parents, it is an unexpected blessing--with one complication. If he takes this chance to put his past to rest, it could separate him and Rachel for good. Now, with prayer, love--and her hope chest's small miracles--Jarred and Rachel must find the courage to reconcile their wishes into a joyous life together.

"Written with tenderness and simplicity." --New York Times bestselling author Joan Wester Anderson, on Rebecca's Bouquet
MY REVIEW: How delightful to follow Rachel Kauffman and Jarred Zimmerman as they find love. Rachel has simple desires to raise a family of her own...full of many babies. Jarred does not know the close knit family that Rachel does, and she is determined to reunite them.
This is the third book in a series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone. I think readers will want to read the entire series after reading this book if they haven't read the previous two.
I am rating this book 4 stars and highly recommend it to readers. Young adult and teens will enjoy this book as well.
I received a digital version of this book from netgalley and Zebra Publishing in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.
