Threads of Grace

I had the pleasure of receiving this e-book thanks to BookSneeze.com in exchange for my fair & honest review.

FROM THE AUTHOR:
 
Grace's autistic son needs a life that is safe and consistent. Seth wants to leave his flirting days behind him and settle down.
Deep in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania, the beautiful and weary Amish widow, Grace Beiler, is not looking for a husband—especially one so much younger than her. But handsome and smitten Seth Wyse stumbles upon a way to help her and they marry to keep Grace’s autistic son safe from his ill-intentioned uncle.
Grace soon discovers that she is far from immune to her young husband’s experienced charm and realizes that her first marriage has not destroyed her capacity for love.
Seth Wyse seeks counsel from his older brother, Jacob, when playing the game of pursuing his wife becomes more dangerous to both his heart and life than he ever imagined.
Yet God can give Grace and Seth a passion for family and each other that teaches them the ways of the Master Quilter through the tangled and tender threads of their lives.

 MY OPINION:

I have always enjoyed books by Kelly Long.  She is able to paint such a vivid portrait of what the characters see & feel so that your transported into the Amish culture.  The story focuses on Grace, who was forced into an early marriage. At first glace you think that Kelly is going to write about the hardships Grace faced being forced to marry a man whom she didn't love, but instead your whisked ahead in time to a point in which Grace's life long dream finally does come true, without her even looking for it.  Were also introduced to Seth, who himself has a secret.  A secret in which he fears that if the town elders found out he may have to give up one of his passions.  But with the strong faith in God that both Grace & Seth share as well as the love that they both have for Graces son you find that dreams really do come true...even for the Amish faith.
