MY REVIEW
This was quite a different story that I really enjoyed. The theme throughout the book was about trust and keeping secrets. Sarah has a close encounter one day with a man and a parachute. I can say with almost certainty that it is not usual to find a man falling from the sky in Amish Country. Sarah has such a good heart she immediately wants to help this mysterious man. I did think it was weird that Sarah went against her beliefs and hid two strange men in her home. She is almost innocent like in ways and agrees to let them stay hidden in their house. Her beliefs are that they are to help others and she couldn’t turn her back on them.
I got a big kick out of Sarah’s grandmother. That woman is gifted in discernment and knows these two men are hiding something, I loved how she insisted that they pray before meals and set them straight about their language. She is someone you don’t want to cross. God always provides divine appointments and I believe the day the parachute landed near Sarah , God was clearing a pathway for two men to find Jesus. He used Sarah and her grandmother to show them kindness as they showed compassion to strangers. I won’t say why these men were there, but it is a great storyline that allows readers to see what deceit can do and the chaos it causes.
Jacob and Sarah have been friends forever but lately feelings are growing stronger. When Sarah is once again asked to deceive someone that could hurt Jacob’s trust in Sarah what will she decide to do? I don’t think there is a mean bone in Sarah but she tries to please so many people, it is bound to come crashing down on her soon.
Get ready to have a front roll seat inside anAmish family as deceit, strange men, hurt, trust and a new beginning for several characters entertain us and teach us about being His hands and feet to others. Let us remember through this story that God is in control . What looks hopeless God can change into joy and in the midst of chaos it is possible for someone to find Jesus.
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
