A young Amish woman finds herself torn between the man she’s
pledged to wed and the man her heart desires in this heartwarming story of
chance, duty, and choice in the face of love—the first volume in the beloved New
York Times bestselling author’s new Amish Brides of Pinecraft series.
Amish bride-to-be Leona is thrilled to be in Florida, on a
mini-vacation in the pretty town of Pinecraft. Her girlfriends think she’s
happy because she’s away from the stress of wedding planning. They have no idea
that Leona’s real joy is in being away from her fiancé.
Edmund is a good man, and will make a decent husband . . .
just not for Leona. The more time she spends with him and his overbearing ways,
the less she wants to be his wife. Her cousins are sure Edmund is the right man
for her-and their certainty makes Leona begin to doubt herself. But when a
chance encounter with a wayward cat brings her face-to-face with a handsome, fun-loving
Amish man named Zachary Kauffman, Leona’s faced with two vastly different
futures.
Leona must decide: Does she follow the path set out before
her? Or take a chance with only the promise of what could be to guide her?
The setting takes place in Pinecraft is the vacation spot of
many Amish and Mennonites from Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. Busses
regularly transport Amish and Mennonites from up North to Pinecraft, Florida
during the cold winter months. Shelley writes of the different
restaurants, shops, beaches, and area attractions in Pinecraft and the
surrounding Sarasota and Siesta Key area. I would love to visit this area
someday. I so enjoyed this first story in "Amish Brides of Pinecraft"series.
I was drawn in by the story line and characters. Family love, devotion, making
right decisions for yourself were all part of the storyline. I would recommend
this book to anyone who likes Amish fiction and good clean books.
I received a complimentary copy of PROMISE OF PALM GROVE
from the author, Shelley Shepard Gray and Litfuse Publicity for my view of the
book.
