I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about the Amish. I couldn't put it down.
Very well written. Great read! I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This one is better than the first one in the series (which was pretty lovely).

Hope is a loner, hiding between the voices of the world in her garden. But after relocating with her family to the Pinecraft, she has neither her garden nor her place in the society. She had been Hope the gardener, the one with the green hands - now she is one of the Amish girls. She is trying to protect herself by finding her hiding place - but isn´t she closing herself too much?
Jonas is a widower and a new person in Pinecraft, too - to help with the school for a time. After the illness and death of his young wife, he is in no hurry to open his heart again to a woman. Until Hope. But does he love her for himself, too, not just as a mother for Emma? And is Hope prepared to this?

This is enriching, sweet story. In my opinion the story is just a base for the message here (and a lover of stories in me is not a fan of this), but it is a base written well at least and the message is spot-on: to open your heart, to know that no true love for people is lost in God´s hands and that we are the community.
And as this message is right, all is right with me with this book :) I am coming out of its pages enriched and this is what is important.
