Sylvia Fisher is an Old Order Amish young lady who is much more interested in taking care of the herd at the family dairy than getting married and tending house. She is devastated by a betrayal and feels she must leave home. She goes to a farm to help an older couple that is in debt and cannot run their dairy as needed.
Things are going well, then the couple's son, Aaron, returns from rehab and wants nothing more than to sell the farm and move his parents to town. He hopes for an easier life for his parents, and has the best intentions, but they have renewed hope in the farm because Sylvia has created a more positive outlook and has actually increased earnings.
Sylvia and Aaron must learn to compromise and to work together. It is very difficult to do this when your goals are so opposite, and your parents think the new girl is amazing and you are a reprobate!
This book is #3 in the "Ada's House" series.
This was an enjoyable read as all of Woodsmalls books tend to be. The Amish culture is clearly defined and beautifully portrayed. The characters are rich and full of life. This book will be a great read for anyone that enjoys reading Amish ficiton.
This book was a complimentary review copy received from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group.
