“Unforgiven” by Shelley Shepard Gray

Another outstanding book and start to a new series! This story follows Seth and Tabitha who have both left the Amish faith but who still live in the area. Included in the book were side stories of Lott, Bethanne and Melonie. It was so disheartening for me to read how the Amish treat each other who have left the faith or have been shunned due to other peoples choices or actions or things that aren’t predicted.

This story was very thought provoking and I loved that Seth and Tabitha decided to look to God and their faith for help and answers, instead of their community – since they were viewed as Unforgiven in the Amish community.

This clean Christian fiction had great characters, compelling story line, and included themes like faith, love, and working thru trauma and guilt. I can’t wait to read more in this new series! This gripping drama kept me intrigued from beginning to end. Highly recommend! My 14 year old also read it and enjoyed it as well! I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

About the Book:
Ex-con Seth Zimmerman has spent the last three years making amends by helping the vulnerable in his former Amish community. Lately, this mission includes calling on Tabitha Yoder, whose divorce from her abusive husband has isolated her from the community. Even though she never comes out of her house to talk to him, Seth knows she watches him from the window while he chops wood, clears her driveway, and drops off food.

An uneasy friendship is just starting to take hold between them when small gifts begin to appear at Tabitha’s home–gifts that can only be from her ex-husband. Seth might be Tabitha’s only hope at maintaining her hard-won freedom from the man whose violent outbursts had almost cost her life. But coming to her rescue might mean he ends up behind bars once again.

MY REVIEW

Registered Nurse and Health Care Professional Susan Neal explores 12 ways to age gracefully-in body, mind and spirit- in this new book. I love her introduction as she encourages readers to join her on the journey of slowing the aging process. “While we can’t go back in time-and our bodies will inevitably age-we can maintain energy and even improve our health as we face each new day and live well into our golden years… ”

The suggestions in this book probably aren’t new to you and frankly they aren’t easy to do most days; but the alternative is to not have good health, energy or live a functional, independent life. I like that she includes Christian aspects about health and wellness in this book and why it’s important to protect and take care of the body that God gave us.

Each chapter includes her 12 suggestions taken from her own personal experiences and from helping others in the medical field. She talks about the importance of nutrition and includes food lists and foods to avoid. She talks about the importance of good gut health, being physically active, brain health, toxins, hormones, stress, mindset, emotional health and spiritual health.

I like that at the end of each chapter she includes personal and practical applications so as readers we can think more about the chapter and educate others and apply what we’ve learned.

As a certified group fitness instructor with special certifications with active older adults; I enjoyed reading this book and definitely agree with everything she shared. These tips are something we should all strive to do on a daily basis regardless of age. I highly recommend reading this book if you are wanting to have a long, fulfilling, healthy life!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.
