The hope of spring! The hope of a new life! Lena Graber is a relieved widow, not grieved. When her marriage ends, she relishes the peace, except when her mother-in-law torments her with debt. Fearful of losing her farm, Lena reaches out to Jacob King, who plows up the fields and plants winter wheat. Come spring, it should bring in a good profit. Jacob King has loved Lena since he was old enough to like girls. At twenty-seven he’s given up looking for a woman like Lena. Now that Lena is free to remarry, she considers Jacob’s proposal. But she needs time away and lives with her aunt and uncle in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania for the winter. But the Amish in Pennsylvania are vastly different than the strictest of strict Amish sect Lena is used to in New York. As Lena finds liberty in Pennsylvania to wear colors other than black and blue, be a passenger in a car, have trusted English friends, and other luxuries forbidden back home, will this divide her from Jacob? All winter, like the dead seeds of wheat grow and swell under the earth, so does Lena. As the desire to remarry grows, God is molding a man who will love her unconditionally… Best-selling author, Karen Anna Vogel, is known for her ‘redemptive novels.’ filled with hope. She’s been a trusted English friend to many Amish in New York and Pennsylvania over the past thirty years and strives to accurately portray their culture. To learn more about Amish life, you may want to grab her devotional, 31 Days to a Simple Life the Amish Way: Inspirational Secrets from Amish Friends.

About the Author

Karen Anna (Bolkovac) Vogel is dusting off book outlines written thirty years ago when she was running after her four preschoolers. Having empty nest syndrome, she delved into writing. Many books and novellas later, she's passionate about portraying the Amish and small town life in a realistic way. Being a "Trusted English Friend" to Amish in rural Western Pennsylvania and New York, she writes what she's experienced, many novels based on true stories. Most of her book covers don't show faces, a request from Amish friends. She's a graduate of Seton Hill University, majoring in Psychology & Elementary Education, and Andersonville Theological Seminary with a Masters in Biblical Counseling. Karen's a yarn hoarder not in therapy, knitting or crocheting something at all times. This passion leaks into her books along with hobby farming and her love of dogs.

I do not usually read Amish novels with the same interest as my daughters have in them. I picked this book out on my Kindle , thinking it would be a light read . However, the first page intrigued me as I did not expect to meet a main character , specifically an Amish one, dealing with the dark side of life that many in the non-Amish world face. The story captivated my interest to the last page.

I’d forgotten I had this book, so when I pulled it up I started reading, it was well worth the wait. It was refreshing seeing Lena gain strength and confidence in herself, so beautiful that Jacob waited for his love.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT EDIFYING AND AGENDA-DRIVEN
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2018

Although the author is well able to tell a story, I feel the book was written more to push her religious views than to bless the reader with an enjoyable reading experience. Her judging of the stricter Amish is disturbing and depressing. I believe that she has misunderstood what readers of Amish fiction want...a relaxing escape, not a pedantic lecture. Sad.

Two people facing hardship, with unsupportive family take a time out. Learning of the rules of a less strict Amish sect caused much strife and required them to decide if they wanted a change. Highly recommend.

Lena and her husband, Samson, had a bad marriage. He was mean and abused her, very controlling. There was a fire in their barn and Samson and all the animals were killed. Samson's mother blamed Lena for his death and she was horrible to her. Lena went to Pennsylvania to stay with her aunt to get away from this lady and all her lies. Turns out Lena was pregnant, now she has to decide to remain in Pennsylvania or return to New York and all the stress she had there. Great book to read and learn more about the Amish life.

Lena struggled in an abusive marriage but felt she was at fault. When her circumstances changed and she found love and compassion after her abusive husband died she knew she had not done wrong.
Well written I highly recommend this book.
