Description de l’éditeur
She finds sisterhood in the Amish Widows Club--but will she risk loving again?
Leanna Mast never imagined she'd be a widow at forty-one, but it seems God had other plans. After mourning her husband for a year, she realizes it's time to start living again. But her community expects her to remarry, and after living on her own, she's not eager to start cooking and cleaning in another man's home.
When she's invited to join the Amish Widows Club, she discovers a place of belonging she didn't even know she needed. In this group of women who support one another through sharing books, stories, and companionship, Leanna immediately feels welcome. She's sure her life as a widow will bring her the fulfillment she craves . . . until handsome, kind Evan Keim comes calling. As their relationship deepens, her heart becomes involved. But how could she possibly leave the widows club for a dream that might be too good to be true?
New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray skillfully draws readers into an endearing and delightful Amish community of friendship during widowhood and a second chance at love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This delightful series opener from Shepard Gray (C Is for Courting) finds a 41-year-old Amish widow torn between the joys of female friendship and the possibility of a second shot at love. Newly widowed after enduring an unhappy and childless 19-year marriage, Leanna Mast is in no rush to find a new husband. So she's thrilled to be invited to join the secret Amish Widows Club, where she finds comfort in the camaraderie of other independent women determined to live life to the fullest. When widower Evan Keim calls on her, Leanna pushes him away, certain that taking another chance on love isn't worth it. But Evan isn't one to give up easily, and Leanna eventually agrees to be friends. Mutual feelings gradually emerge, but Leanna knows a new relationship would mean relinquishing her membership in the widows club and leaping into an uncertain future—a risky prospect given that she and Evan disagree about what that future might hold. It's easy to root for the sympathetic leads as they work to surmount their anxieties and start over together, while the lively supporting cast, including Evan's sons and the other widows, adds plenty of texture and humor. Shepard Gray's fans won't be disappointed.
