- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This had a good ending and it cleared up some loose ends at the end of the series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This story was about Jolene Yoder, an Amish schoolteacher who become deaf after a car accident her and her cousin's were in (from book one). Jolene had left her home in Indiana to learn sign language and reading lips, but now finds herself moving back home to teach two deaf children in the school. While there she will find herself teaching many more folks who want to learn how to communicate with her. She will also try to teach Lonnie Hershberger how to sign when an explosion causes him to lose his hearing. Together these two will learn to "listen" to their hearts and admit their love for each other.I also liked how this story tied up some loose ends in other character's lives in this series. Ella Miller, who I had a hard time liking, will finally find love, as will Eunice, a young lady who needs to learn to stop chasing men and let someone find her.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I like to read "Amish romances", and am just finishing this book. Overall, this story was enjoyable. . . but having read the first two books in the series, this one takes the cake in terms of the sheer number of accidents and tragedies! There is a new one (or two) in nearly every other chapter!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jolene has returned to her home in order to teach two deaf children that have moved into the Amish community. Soon after her return, Jake Beechy, who left the community during his Rumspringa also returns to the area. He shows no signs of joining the Amish church or remaining in the area and his father refuses to speak to him.Lonnie Hershberger finds himself falling in love with Jolene, even though he sees no future with her since she is in love with Jake. Ella Miller is angry with Jake, thinking he will hurt her cousin, as he hurt her when he left the community.There is a lot of tragedy in this book but the faith of the characters shine through and we see that God has a plan for all of us if we will just listen.
