I so enjoyed this book. Shelley Shepard Gray is a favorite author of mine. I have enjoyed all of her books and this one was no exception. This book is based in an odd place for a Amish book, Florida. But that just make's it all the more interesting. Leona is such a fun character and had a few hard choices to make. I was pleased that she made them wisely and with an intelligence that young girls don't always have. I believe that this sets off such a good message for other younger woman that they can fall for the right guy and waiting to be happy is really ok. You don't have to rush into choices, you can take your time.
A young Amish woman finds herself torn between the man she's pledged to wed and the man her heart desires in this heartwarming story of chance, duty, and choice in the face of love---the first volume in the beloved New York Times bestselling author's new Amish Brides of Pinecraft series.
Amish bride-to-be Leona is thrilled to be in Florida, on a mini-vacation in the pretty town of Pinecraft. Her girlfriends think she's happy because she's away from the stress of wedding planning. They have no idea that Leona's real joy is in being away from her fiancé.
Edmund is a good man, and will make a decent husband . . . just not for Leona. The more time she spends with him and his overbearing ways, the less she wants to be his wife. Her cousins are sure Edmund is the right man for her---and their certainty makes Leona begin to doubt herself. But when a chance encounter with a wayward cat brings her face-to-face with a handsome, fun-loving Amish man named Zachary Kauffman, Leona's faced with two vastly different futures.
