Leona desperately hopes that a short vacation with her girlfriends in Pinecraft, Florida, will help her gain some perspective about her upcoming marriage to Edmund. Leona understands she might be experiencing wedding jitters, but most days she can hardly bear thinking what life will be like married to a controlling, autocratic man like Edmund.
Zack Kaufmann is a devoted son and brother. He loves living in Pinecraft with his family and his friends, but with his youngest sister requiring extra care he has little time to think about his own needs. A chance meeting with a young Amish woman visiting from Ohio changes all of that.
Now Leona must make a decision. To take a chance that her new friendship with Zack will be the relationship she has always dreamed of having, or continue with the promise made to Edmund. In the end, marriage is forever and Leona must let her heart and her faith decide the right path.
This heartwarming tale is told with Ms. Gray’s trademark attention to the details of Amish life that bring her stories to life. Readers will enjoy the lively secondary cast as several subplots unwind throughout the book. I cannot wait to see what is in store for my favorite characters in the next book.
