My Thoughts
Well, what are my thoughts? I really enjoyed this book, a lot!! I give it five stars for sure. I read it in three sittings, which is good for me because by the time I find time to read I am so exhausted that I only get a page or two in and I am fast asleep. Sad, I know.
Hannah has a lot on her plate all throughout this entire book. With losing her husband, Gideon, and having to raise her three children alone, working at the hotel along with being a part of the horse business on the farm she is constantly doing on the go but always still missing her husband something terrible. I can not imagine, nor do I want to know what it would feel like to have that happen.
Anyway, she befriends an English fellow who is staying at the hotel and this is when gossip starts to fly about Hannah. Hannah has twin daughters, Lillian who wants to be an Amish school teacher and Amanda who wants to go to college and become a Veterinarian. She also has a little boy named Andrew who wants to work on the horse farm with his Uncle Joshua when he grows up. With all the gossip going around and Hannah not knowing for sure where it is coming from for sure she sure does have her hands full.
Now, I am not going to give away what happens in the book but I will say that I am excited to know that this is part of a series so there is more to come. I just can't wait to get my hands on it. I hope it doesn't take long for it to come out.
