About the book:
Book two in the Hearts of the Lancaster Grand Hotel series.
Carolyn Lapp dreams of marrying for love. But will the errors of her past destroy this dream forever?
Carolyn Lapp longs to have a traditional Amish family. But she lives on her brother's farm with her parents and her 15-year old son, Benjamin. Carolyn has never revealed the identity of Benjamin's father and lives daily with the guilt and shame of her youthful indiscretion. Her brother simply will not forgive her.
His answer is to arrange a practical marriage for Carolyn to Saul, a widower with a little girl. But Carolyn isn't convinced that Saul really loves her and believes he is simply looking for someone to help raise his daughter.
When Benjamin causes trouble at a local horse auction, horse breeder Joshua Glick decides that he must be taught a lesson. Carolyn and Joshua are unmistakably drawn to each other, but Joshua mistakenly assumes that Benjamin is Carolyn's brother. Carolyn fears that if he discovers the truth, her past will destroy their budding romance.
After years of shame and loneliness, Carolyn suddenly has two men vying for her attention. But which of them will give her the family-and the unconditional love-she's longed for?

My Review:
I always enjoy reading
books by Amy Clipston. Her writing is so wonderful and she makes her
characters seem so real. I like that she makes her characters with flaws
to show that not everyone is perfect. I also like how she puts characters
in her stories that sometimes are not likable. This story seemed so
real. Amy writes from the heart and makes you feel like you are right
there with the characters experiencing what they are experiencing. I really liked the character of Carolyn and
didn't like how some in the community treated her. This goes to show that
even Amish people are not perfect and that we all need the grace of God. . In this story, Carolyn had a son out of
wedlock and for the Amish that is frowned upon, so Carolyn is not treated the
best by the community, even by her own brother, with whom she and her son
live. When Benjamin, Carolyn’s son, gets
into some trouble at the horse auction, breeder Joshua Glick feels Benjamin
should be taught a lesson. He mistakenly
thinks that Benjamin is Carolyn’s brother.
Will Carolyn be brave enough to reveal the truth to Benjamin? In the
meantime, her brother is trying to arrange a marriage between Carolyn and
another man, Saul. Carolyn has a lot of
struggles, but Amy has created a very well developed character who only wants
to do what is best for herself and her son.
Amy’s books are very well written and they flow so well, that they end
way too quickly. Amy really makes you
care about the characters in her books and you actually worry about them and
long for them to get their happy ending.
Amy is they type of writer whose books stay with you long after you have
put them down. I look forward to more
from Amy, great job.
I received a complimentary
copy of this book.
