Katie is a hard working Amish woman who
still lives at home, as she is unmarried. She has quietly
fancied Jonathan, a widower, for years but has never pursued
this attraction due to her upbringing and her past.
She is concerned about her darkest
secrets, the things she did during her Rumspringa (her
running-around years). She is afraid that members of her
community will not understand what she did, as she has a
hard time coming to terms with them herself. She is now a
member of the church and has cut her ties with those she met
during her Rumspringa, and is letting God lead her life.
When an opportunity arises for Katie to
help Jonathan with his children she welcomes the
opportunity, though her parents do not at first, as they are
concerned Katie will be hurt.
Now her past has suddenly surfaced just
as she might finally have a chance at love with Jonathan.
Will Katie be able to deal with the past and accept
forgiveness?
If you need a “pick me up story” that is faith based than
you will want to read Wanted. I admit that I
not only laughed by I cried while reading about Katie. Ms.
Gray has a fan in me with the Sisters of the Heart Series,
though I don’t normally read inspirational stories. I found
that her writing skills pulled me in as well as the way she
lets us into the thoughts of here characters, including
their worries and concerns. I look forward to the next book
in this series. Wanted is definitely
recommended by me. |
