We're on day 4 of the count down!
About this book:
“In the seemingly ordinary Amish home of Grace Byler, secrets abound. Why does her mother weep in the night? Why does her father refuse to admit something is dreadfully wrong? Then, in one startling moment, everything Grace assumed she knew is shattered. Her mother's disappearance leaves Grace reeling and unable to keep her betrothal promise to her long-time beau. Left to pick up the pieces of her life, Grace questions all she has been taught about love, family, and commitment.
Heather Nelson is an English grad student, stunned by a doctor's diagnosis. Surely fate would not allow her father to lose his only daughter after the death of his wife a few years before. In denial and telling no one she is terminally ill, Heather travels to Lancaster County--the last place she and her mother had visited together. Will Heather find healing for body and spirit?
As the lives of four wounded souls begin to weave together like an Amish patchwork quilt, they each discover missing pieces of their life puzzles--and glimpse the merciful and loving hand of God.”
Series: “Seasons of Grace” book #1

It took me about half the book just
to really get into the story, that’s the only thing I didn’t like out of this
story. All throughout “The Secret” I kept trying to figure out who was who and
who was married to who. But I got it. :)
Come back Monday for our countdown to see another review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
