Lucie's Review:
Widow Ava Jane Graber is shocked to run into her former love Jeremiah. When Jeremiah left the Amish many years ago, Ava Jane moved on with her life and married his good friend Jacob, they had a god life with two children, Eli and Sara Rose, up until he drowned two years ago. Ava Jane had been selling baked goods to make ends meet, and is surprised to see Jeremiah show up at her stall.
Jeremiah left the Amish 12 years ago and has since become a Navy SEAL, he has been under fire and faced some of the greatest dangers, but the bravest thing that he has ever done is come back home. His father is dying, and his family needs him, Jeremiah wants to make amends for the bridges e burned 12 years ago.
Can Ava Jane forgive Jeremiah, and will they get a second chance at love?
The elders allow Jeremiah to stay if he starts taking baptism classes, which he agrees to. After his crazy life with the SEALs he is looking forward to a simpler life again. He tells his father about how he got into the SEALs and the adventures he had with them. Jeremiah may have left the Amish, but he didn't abandon his faith. He is a man of action and is quick thinking in a crisis.
Ava Jane jumps to conclusions and thinks that Jeremiah is a bad influence on her son, when in fact he is a great friend and mentor. Ava Jane is reluctant to forgive Jeremiah, but as she sees the man he has become they find their friendship rekindled. I liked how their dialog reflected their past relationship, and how they are now.
Overall a great story of forgiveness and second chances. Jeremiah is my favorite character, he is very brave to return home and I like how he reaches out to reconnect and rebuild burned bridges.
