"The Wonder Of Your Love" is the latest Amish book in Beth Wiseman's A Land Of Canaan Series. This is the story of Katie Ann Stoltzfus and Eli Detweiler. I found it quite interesting from the opening pages. Katie is an older single Amish mother, but there is a twist to her story. Her husband Ivan left her to live with an Englisher lady, and then was later killed in a car accident. He died without knowing that Katie was going to have his child. The opening pages of the story has the Englisher Lucy Turner coming to Colorado to see Katie because she has something important to tell her. Just what could Lucy need to tell Katie? Eli Detweiler is a widower of seventeen years. His children are all grown now and he is looking forward to doing a bit of traveling. When he goes to Canaan, Colorado to attend a wedding his family decides to try and pair him up with Katie, but her heart has been broken and she isn't sure she is ready for love. Will Katie and Eli find a second chance at happiness?
I have really enjoyed reading Amish novels, and while some are a bit predictable this one really stood out. The plot was different, Katie is older and is attempting to raise a son on her own. Her husband leaving her for an Englisher was also another twist. A fast moving story that I couldn't put down. I enjoyed the characters and the setting, as well as the positive christian theme woven thru the story. I will anxiously be watching for more from this author.
A complimentary copy of this book was sent by Booksneeze in exchange for an honest review.
