Her Heart's Desire

By Shelley Shepard Gray

Book Overview

What happens when we allow our pasts to define our futures?

Mary Margaret Miller needs an escape from her small Amish community. She boards a bus, all alone, for a vacation in Pinecraft, Florida. Meeting Betsy and Lilly on the way, she's amazed to find two kindred spirits. They become fast friends and determine to have the best two weeks of their lives. For Mary, it starts when she meets Jayson Raber, a handsome and charming carpenter.

Jayson is taken with Mary from the get-go, but he has responsibilities back home in Kentucky--including a girl he's supposed to marry. And when someone from Mary's past shows up in Pinecraft, it seems like her perfect vacation is ruined. But that's nothing compared to what's coming when she realizes what Jayson has been hiding . . .

"Gray skillfully sketches a sympathetic cast of characters who will endear themselves to readers. This heartwarming series has potential."--Publishers Weekly

"Focused on the values of friendship and forgiveness, it is a lighthearted read that takes on real-world challenges such as loneliness, sacrificing dreams, and knowing one's worth."--Booklist

Vacation Love

5 stars, Vacation Love HER HEART'S DESIRE by Shelley Shepard Gray This is a delightful Amish vacation book, it's about Mary Margaret who has had difficult circumstances surrounding her. She escapes the confines of her town in Ohio to a lovely inn in Pinecraft, Florida, where she meets several girls and they strike up a lasting friendship. It's also about Jayson who is also visiting the same inn in Pinecraft, Florida, it's where a lot of Amish folk stay when they are vacationing in Florida. There is more to this book than just the normal two people who meet and fall in love, there are all sorts of other secondary characters that have things going on in their lives, as well. Highly recommend.
