"The Waiting" by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Lancaster County Secrets Book 2

Book Description:

But when the unexpected happens, their worlds are turned upside down once more. Will Jorie trust God to lead her into the arms of a new man?

My Thoughts:

"The Choice" Book 1

I really, really liked this book.  The beginning of the book is full of heartbreak and lonliness but slowly transforms into something beautiful.

I enjoyed reading about Caleb's attempts at housekeeping and the antics of the rest of the Zook household.

I loved that Jorie worked with breeding horses.  I've never read another Amish book where a woman had such a untypical vocation.

I loved the sweet romance that unfolds until...wham....  I won't tell you what happens because that would just ruin the fun of it.

I really didn't know what was going to happen after the "big surprise".  I was very pleased with how it worked out though.  

It made me sigh, when I finished it.  What better praise could be given a book.

The next book in the series is "The Search" and I can't wait to read it!
