Lucie's Review:Picking up where the last novel left off, Suzanne and Alexa have made peace with their family and have found a home among the Old Order Mennonite. But things are never quiet for long, when Paul finds out that he is the father of Anna-Grace, he is angry with Suzanne for hiding her pregnancy from him, and he want's to make his identity known to Anna-Grace.
Meanwhile the first guest at the bed breakfast, is Briley Forrester, a reporter determined to expose the scandals and secrets of the Mennonites, and show another side to them from their pristine image.
Meanwhile Steven wants to be a teacher, but feels pressured by his family to be "Perfect son" and be a farmer like his father wants. Will he find the courage to go after what he wants?
Another family drama,that examines the relationships between the characters an how they learn to love and accept the family that God has given them. A continuation of the Zimmerman tale, as secrets are exposed and hearts laid bare.
Overall a well written novel that continues the story started in the first book of the series. In some ways it felt more like a filler book between the beginning and the end. I liked that it wasn't romance and instead explored the various relationships within a family. There were strong characters in this heartfelt story.
