An Amish Woman Finds Love in Hawaii
Ellen Lambright mourned when her best friend, Mandy, moved from Indiana to Hawaii. But now Ellen has received the Amish church’s permission to go to Hawaii and help Mandy through challenging times. Rob Smith works on the Williams family’s organic farm, far from his past mistakes and burning regrets. When Ellen befriends Rob, the attraction is mutual, but her commitment to the Amish faith stands between them. Could a heartfelt discovery lead to forgiveness, reunion, and love? Or is Ellen’s destiny waiting for her in Indiana?
Find out in this sequel to The Hawaiian Quilt from New York Times bestselling author Wanda E. Brunstetter, writing with her daughter-in-law Jean Brunstetter.
*****************************************************************************
This book contains dual story lines one in Hawaii and the other in Middlebury Indiana. This is the second book in the series, although this book made reference to things that had happened in the first book, you weren't really lost without having read the first one. Ken and Mandy run a Bed and Breakfast in Middlebury and Ellen works for them. When Ken's father becomes ill and passes away , they have to fly to Hawaii to help his mother with the family business. They end up staying and selling the B&B. When Ken is attacked by a shark, Ellen flies to Hawaii to be with her best friend. She stays on for a while to help out as Ken has a very slow recovery. She meets an Englischer and begins to enjoy his company very much. But Ellen has joined the Amish church so what is she thinking? Or is she ? But he has something in his past that he is running away from. So Ellen goes back to Indiana, what will become of them?
I always enjoy Brunstetter's books and this one was no exception. It contained some twists and surprises and I like that. The one thing I would suggest is more of the Amish culture written in to the story line.
I received a complementary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing. All opinions are my own.
