This was a lovely story. There was so much about faith in Jesus and trusting in God. There were endearing, amusing moments and those that brought tears and even anger. There were authentic characters such as Judah who questioned God's love and care, and Ellie who struggled with her Mennonite upbringing with all its restrictions with which I could relate. I really liked how the author carefully crafted the emotions and thought processes of the characters. Issues such as child abuse, PTSD from war, and other trauma were touched upon. Of course there was sweet romance but I thought all the issues in this historical fiction story were well balanced.
I was truly satisfied with this story and have been savoring it for the past couple of days. I'd like to rate this heartfelt read with a 5-Star rating.
