Amish Homestead Novel A Place at Our Table, Book 1, (Paperback)

Love Amish books

It was almost as if I were watching this story unfold in slow motion, and found myself yelling “No”, and knew exactly what was going to happen, and having no way to prevent it. Heartache prevails here, and enough grief to cover everyone, and yet you feel God's presence and love covering these souls. Can a seasoned griever help one with new grief, or will they end up helping each other, and that is the hope. This story shows personal grief, but because we are with the emergency responders, we meet a lot of tragic situations head on. Will working and living in this situation be the catalyst to bring two hurting people together, or the ultimate reason they go their separate ways. I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Zondervan, and was not required to give a positive review.

I enjoyed reading about an Amish firefighter as this is something I have never heard of. Jamie and Kayla are both dealing with loss in their lives and each grieving in their own way that causes them to make poor choices in how they act and react. Watching their Faith play a part in healing and second chances makes for a sweet read. I look forward to more in this series as some of the secondary characters grabbed my attention and I hope to learn more about them. This is a wonderful story of forgiveness of self and others, healing, and loving in the hard times. I received a complimentary copy from Thomas Nelson & Zondervan Fiction Guild. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
