Her Only Wish

By Shelley Shepard Gray

Book Overview

The time for playing it safe is over

Sheltered yet adventurous, Betsy Detweiler is on a mission to get out of Kentucky and experience new things in life. She's got a list--a life list. What better place to start than with her friends in beautiful Pinecraft, Florida?

From the moment Betsy walks onto the Snow Bird Golf Course to sign up for lessons, August Troyer is mesmerized. Betsy is a mass of contradictions--beautiful yet awkward, outgoing yet unsure, joyful yet hesitant. She's like no one he's ever met before, and as the only child of missionary parents, he's met a lot of people.

As Betsy and August embark on a month of enjoying life to the fullest, they'll encounter several reasons to back off and live small. But life--and love--require risk.

A Good, Inspirational Book

Her Only Wish by Shelley Shepard Gray is an excellent book. It is the second in a series but I didn't know this until I finished the book. Betsy has a life list. This is a list of things she wants to complete while she is visiting her friend in Florida. She has on her list learn how to play golf and play one round of golf, and learn how to swim. This simple list caught on and enriched lives of other. Some of the people in influences is the friend of the man who gives her golf lessons, and the woman and sister who give her swimming lessons. Betsy is Amish and she has always been protected by her parents so these things would not have happened back in her home in Kentucky. The story that was told around these events was touching and heart-lifting. I loved this book. I was given this book by Revel and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
