The WAITING by Suzanne Woods Fisher topped
The CHOICE! In
The Waiting, Jorie King, the main character who helps her grandparents on their Amish horse farm and agrees to teach school finally finds love. This is a great story that focuses on one particular Amish family, the Zooks. The oldest, Cal is left with his young daughter, Maggie and his three brothers--Ben, Matthew, and Ephraim when his beloved wife dies of Cancer. Cal stepped up to run the family farm when their parents died. Issues in this book include life struggles, family issues, faith, education, judging others, relationships and coming of age.
I absolutely loved this book and look forward to reading more by this wonderful author. The romance is clean, the Christian theme runs throughout without being preachy and it's thought provoking. I cheered out loud at a couple parts--once when Cal through Ben's medications into the garbage and when the test results came back for Jorie's 8th graders. Ephraim was my favorite character.
