ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Hidden is Shelley’s first foray into inspirational fiction. Previously, Shelley lived in Texas and Colorado, where she taught school and earned both her bachelors and masters degrees in education. She now lives in southern Ohio where she writes full time. Shelley is an active member of her church. She serves on committees, volunteers in the church office, and is part of the Telecare ministry, which calls homebound members on a regular basis. Shelley looks forward to the opportunity to write novels that showcase her Christian ideals.

This is the second book in the Sisters Of Heart series. The first was Hidden.


ABOUT THE BOOK

Twenty-year-old Katie Brenneman has always quietly fancied Jonathan Lundy. So when the brokenhearted widower asks her to help him take care of his two young girls, Katie knows it will be a trying time-yet she cannot pass up a golden opportunity to get to know this man better.

Just as she's settling into her new life, a message arrives from Katie's past, threatening to expose her darkest secrets. During her Rumspringa, her running-around years, she experimented with activities forbidden in the Amish way of life. Frightened by how far she'd strayed from her values, Katie ran back home, vowing to cut all ties with the outside world. Now her transgressions are coming back to haunt her, just as Jonathan seems willing to welcome her into his heart.

Will the past destroy Katie's chances for love? Or will Katie finally allow herself to accept God's love, forgive her past...and receive everything she's ever wanted?

My Review:

This was a lovely book, the second in the Sisters of the Heart Series. I had never read much about the Amish way of living and Shelley brings it to life in as the Amish say a gut way!.

You follow Katie Brenneman who has a want that is in all of us, the want to be loved, its wanted in us all.

She's on the brink of getting all she ever wanted, or is she? She has some dark secrets from her past that put a damper on the proposal on hand and as you follow Katie and all the beloved characters in this book you won't want to put it down.

With a beautifully touching story included is a bonus for readers a few questions of discussion, preview of the next book in the series "Forgiven" and a want for much more by Shelley Shepard Gray!
