Synopsis
He thought he’d never settle down…until he found
home.
Amish widow Ruth Mast wants nothing
to do with the handsome man from her past who just returned to Cedar
Grove. Ruth learned the hard way that Owen Mast’s restlessness always
causes trouble. But when a little Amish girl appears on Owen’s porch,
lost and afraid, Ruth has no choice but to help the man who only ever
causes heartbreak…
All Owen wanted was to make amends with Ruth
and her family. He never imagined that little girl Grace—or the strange
mystery surrounding her—would bring him closer to Ruth. Or that a tender
and unexpected attraction would quickly take hold of them both. But
even a wandering heart can grow roots…when there is hope for love.
My Review
This pair have been on quite a journey and are just at the midpoint of their lives. The heartbreak and grief they have experienced in the past prevent them from easily allowing a deeper relationship to form. Ruth especially is antagonistic towards Owen in the beginning of the book, but over time and through the shared responsibility of the farm and Grace, she learns to let go of past hurts and see Owen for his good attributes. Owen's choice to spend his life pursuing his missing sister is a noble one, but also leaves him without family and not much time with friends. It was gratifying to see his devotion to Grace and his determination to prove to Ruth that he can be depended on. There is some mystery and suspense as the answers to the question of who Grace is and where she came from slowly come to light. I enjoyed the detailed information about life on the farm, raising and shearing sheep, and Amish customs.
