I have meant to post this for a bit. I really enjoyed this book. I had not read any by Cindy Woodsmall before. This book is the third in a series. I have not read the other two, but the author shares some information to bring you up-to-date.
This story follows Sylvia Fisher, a young Old Order Amish woman, as she is facing the challenge of dairy farming. She has decided to move away from home to help another dairy farmer who has arthritis problems. Her Daed did not wish her to move away, but because of her former beau, she chooses this path.
Aaron, is the son of this dairy farmer, and returns home after rehab. He does not want to farm though. He wants to take his parents to Owl Perch to take care of a store. So from the beginning, Aaron and Sylvia are at odds with each other. But of course, God can guide them together.
This a good story of faith. Sylvia has to learn to trust again. Aaron is learning to overcome his problems with his family. They are forced to work together in the fields and in the dairy. Sylvia has to realize that you can not run from problems, but must face them head on. Aaron is willing to face his parents, but he isn't sure that he wants to face a farmers' life.
This story has the characters from the two previous stories also. So those who have read the other two stories, will enjoy reading more about Cara Atwater Moore, and Lena Kauffman as their stories unfold more as well.
