FROM A BESTSELLING & AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR WHO HAS SOLD OVER 3 MILLION BOOKS. Catherine Lapp doesn't have time for a romantic relationship. Her parents fled her Amish community and left her to tend to her ailing grandmother who suffers from dementia. Often embarrassed by her grandmother's off-the-wall behavior, Catherine mostly stays to herself. When an unseasonal winter storm sends visitors to Catherine's farmhouse for shelter, she has no choice but to take them in as borders. She is rattled by the unexpected company who witness her grandmother's odd behavior right away. But instead of judgment, her new friends not only help her with her grandmother, but they provide an opportunity to learn what real unconditional love can be--both romantically and through friendship. As two romances blossom, Catherine finds hope in her circumstances, and an opportunity to have the Thanksgiving she's always wanted. "A perfect read for the holiday season, or any time. A serious look at the responsibilities of being a caretaker, but an even deeper insight into the many ways God works in our lives. Don't miss this one." Kelly Long, bestselling author of AMISH ALWAYS
A quick read with a lot of depth that is heartwarming. Have the tissues ready as I shed some tears as well as laughed at the antics of my favorite matchmaking characters Lizzie and Esther. Is the Peony Inn full and makes it necessary to send guests to the neighbors house? Catherine finds unexpected guests at her door and feels overwhelmed as she is taking care of her grandmother who suffers from dementia. The author deals with the delicate subject matter with great finesse that has you empathizing with the characters. Sometimes God sends help and love in unexpected ways. I loved the characters and respected and admired Catherine and her grandmother’s love and dedication to each other. Unexpected moments are gobsmacking. I really enjoyed this heartfelt story and recommend reading.
I received a complimentary copy from the author. The honest review and opinions were my own and were not required.
