The Story:
Rachel Yoder has two choices: marry Gabriel Fisher or move to Ohio. As an orphan, Rachel doesn’t
have much to offer; any match she can make will be a good one. She just didn’t plan on Gabriel with his big hands and permanent frown.
As a widower Gabriel needs help caring for the farm and his six children. But he never thought he’d marry a slip of a girl who barely reaches his chin.
Yet as time passes, Gabriel finds himself thinking about a real marriage. They have spoken vows to God and each other, but can he risk his heart with Rachel?
My Review:
Good quick read. I was surprised, I had never heard of this author and she will now be on my to watch list. Rachel is a very scatterer-brained Amish woman with a goat raising business, strange to us but totally the norm for the Amish lifestyle. I enjoyed learning about the animals. Rachel jumped into being a mom to A LOT of kids who happened to be boys, by the middle of the book and which brought utter chaos but in a fun, enjoyable way. Gabriel's and Rachel's romance is soft and sweet, just what you would expect from a Amish fiction book. The characters of the book were very lifelike and easily related too even if you're english. I enjoyed it and passed it on to my grandmother who also enjoyed it and related it to the works of Beverly Lewis.
