“Gathering the Threads” (The Amish of Summer Grove #3) by Cindy Woodsmall
I liked that the author included a couple pages of recap for books 1 and 2 at the beginning of this book. I found it very helpful since I have not read the other 2 books in this series.
I like that recent Amish christian fiction books have been more realistic about their struggles and finding balance in today’s society-I find them more appealing and interesting.
However, I felt like this story was a little over the top with all the drama between characters and the story line. All the drama made me on edge and I had a hard time enjoying any of the characters or feeling any kind of connection to them. I really wanted to enjoy the story because it sounded interesting and there are alot of great reviews; but it wasn’t for me.
It was well written so if you’ve read other books by this author or in this series, I’m sure you will enjoy this one!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
