Description



About the Book



Susie Mast's Old Order life has been shaped more by tragedy than by her own choices. But when she decides to stop waiting on her childhood friend and accept another young man's invitation, she soon realizes her mistake. Will family secrets and missed opportunities dim Susie's hopes for the future? Or is what seems like the end only the beginning?



Book Synopsis



"I wish there was something I could do," Cousin Verena said, her voice cracking.

"But what?" Susie whispered, wiping her eyes. "The boy I've always loved thinks of me as his sister . . . and always has."

Susie Mast's Amish life in Lancaster County has been shaped by events beyond her control, with the tragic deaths of her Dat and close-in-age brother casting long shadows. Now twenty-two, Susie remains unmarried despite her longtime affection for friend Obie Yoder.

Unfortunately, her concerns are soon multiplied due to her mother's worsening health and her younger sister's urgent desire for answers about her adoption. Once again, Susie faces the possibility of loss. Will long-held family secrets and missed opportunities dim Susie's hopes for the future? Or is what seems like the end only the beginning?

Susie Mast’s life has not been easy. She lost her father when she was young and then recently lost her brother,Eli which she blame’s herself for. She had been dating Obie who also is her best friend. She expected him to begin courting her and asking her to marry him. Unfortunately, this has not happened and Obie is going to be working for his Uncle and move away. Susie has kind of devoted her life to taking care of her mama whose asthma is acting up and leaves her kind of Weak. Brittany her younger adopted sister helps in any way she can. I found that this book just dragged on rather slowly in coming to the major issues In this story. It was just ok as I love reading Amish books but found this unlike many others.
