Product Description
Although she still prays for Caleb, Nellie Mae Fisher has broken up with her beau. Now, her heart’s greatest longing is for more knowledge of the Lord.Caleb yearns for freedom, as his plans to leave Honeybrook have been thwarted. He must stay on as caretaker for his father, who was crippled in a wintertime accident. He also longs for Nellie Mae, still hoping that she will return to the Old Order…and to him. Christian Yoder, a young Mennonite man, longs to get to know Nellie Mae better…and to share with her the secrets of her sister Suzy’s final days. Rhoda, Nellie’s older sister, longs for more of what the world has to offer–from fancy clothes, to her own car, to a new English boyfriend.

Meanwhile, father Reuben Fisher longs for unity–among his family and all the brethren.

Whose longing will be satisfied, and whose will not?

My Review: I read this book in two sittings (during the 24 hour Read-a-thon) and truly enjoyed it.  This was the third book in a trilogy on Nellie Fisher’s courtship and it wrapped up very nicely.  I found this story a about the New Order Amish in Pennsylvania quite fascinating and informative.  Although fiction, I loved the way it portrayed God’s work in the lives of those who believe in him as well as how he can dramatically change a life.  Although the people in the story were not real, what God can do in a person’s life IS, and as a Christian I found this book encouraging.  I love the characters in this story.  Lewis presents them in a very believable way.  As always, I highly recommend this and any book by Beverly Lewis.
