Wanted-A Joyfully Recommended Title!!

Katie is a hard working Amish woman who still lives at home, as she is unmarried. She has quietly fancied Jonathan, a widower, for years but has never pursued this attraction due to her upbringing and her past. She is concerned about her darkest secrets, the things she did during her Rumspringa (her running-around years). She is afraid that members of her community will not understand what she did, as she has a hard time coming to terms with them herself. She is now a member of the church and has cut her ties with those she met during her Rumspringa, and is letting God lead her life. When an opportunity arises for Katie to help Jonathan with his children she welcomes the opportunity, though her parents do not at first, as they are concerned Katie will be hurt. Now her past has suddenly surfaced just as she might finally have a chance at love with Jonathan. Will Katie be able to deal with the past and accept forgiveness? If you need a "pick me up story" that is faith based than you will want to read Wanted. I admit that I not only laughed by I cried while reading about Katie. Ms. Gray has a fan in me with the Sisters of the Heart Series, though I don't normally read inspirational stories. I found that her writing skills pulled me in as well as the way she lets us into the thoughts of here characters, including their worries and concerns. I look forward to the next book in this series. Wanted is definitely recommended by me. Tanya Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Wanted

I loved this book - could not put it down. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys reading about the Amish.

I Love Everything Amish

You must read the books in sequence. This is the second book I read by this author and I found this book extremely interesting.

Great Book!

I liked reading the book "Wanted". In fact I like reading books about Amish people. Anyone who is interested in the Amish people should read this book. It's hard to tell someone you love about your past mistakes. I am glad Jonathan Lundy asked Katie to help take care of his two young girls.

Sisters of the Heart continues

This is the second story in the Sisters of the Heart series by Shelley Shepard Gray, the first being Hidden. I really enjoyed "Hidden" and in fact I liked it so much that I preordered this book and anxiously awaited its release. I've always been initally disappointed when an author puts out a second book that does not have the same main characters as the first. I was very interested in Anna and Henry in the first book and would have loved to read another book about them. That said, I usually find myself liking the new main characters, and this book was no exception. We saw Katie briefly in "Hidden" but didn't learn much about her. This story really delves into her character. Her struggle with Jonathan and his children seems very realistic, and though the journey is sometimes tough, I think everyone will be satisfied with the ending. I would definitely recommend this book.
