Samuel Fisher of Lancaster County has become a single father of four children. His brother Titus convinces him to move to Kentucky for a fresh start and new beginnings. Samuel does find new beginnings, but is he ready for them?

Samuel is grieving deeply for his deceases wife, Elsie. He feels he will never recover from her death as long as he remains in Pennsylvania so he and his children move to Kentucky. While staying with his brother, Titus, Samuel meets Esther and soon realizes that he has fallen in love, but a promise he made to Elsie will not allow him to commit to anyone ever again. ( )

I have read the first book in the series and as this one starts Samuel Fisher had just buried his young wife and unborn baby. He had four more children to raise now by himself and he just could not see how he was going to make it without his sweet Elsie. He got into such a state of depression that he didn't even pay any attention to his own children.

He decided to move to Kentucky where his brother Titus lived and see if he could start over. He did get work but still was very depressed. He found a young woman the friend of Titus's girlfriend that would care for his children when he worked. Esther's parents had moved back to Pennsylvania to help their son that had been diagnosed with MS.

Another young woman "Bonnie" from Organ had come to Pembroke Kentucky for her grandmother's funeral and found out that everything that had belonged to her grandmother was left to her including the old home. She decided to move there and use the old house as a bed-and-breakfast. She didn't get alone with her father at home since her mother had passed away. She is not Amish but made a lot of friends among the Amish community.

Will Samuel find peace at last or will he still stay true to his late wife. Bonnie had a secret of her own so when will she let anyone know about her past life.

Another great book written by one of the best Amish authors. I was so thrilled when I received it in the mail last week, by the request of Wanda E Brunstetter and Barbour Publishing in order for me to read and post a review.
