“Her Hearts Desire” by Shelley Shepard Gray

A Once in a Life-time Chance!

Three Amish girls unknown to each other, Mary, Betsy and Lilly, make a trip alone to Pinecraft, Florida. As they leave the cold winter weather behind, they each hope to leave behind their past–at least for the next two weeks in the Sunshine State.

Mary has been bullied since she was a child. Because Betsy experienced serious asthma attacks growing up, her family smothers her with protection. Lilly wonders what was wrong with her that her natural parents gave her up to be adopted.

After meeting on the bus, the three become fast-friends, and are delighted to discover they are all staying at the same cute bed and breakfast.

Many of their long-held wishes are coming true with this trip–including girlfriends to confide in, and do thing with. They enjoy new sights and sounds while riding around in over-sized trikes.

Just when everything seems perfect, Esther, one of the worst bullies in Mary’s life arrives, and is staying at the same place she is. Has Esther followed Mary to ruin any chance of happiness she may find in Florida?

As the girls see their time coming to an end, they each feel they have made big strides for the good in their lives. But what will happen when they go home? Will they fall back into the life-styles that have made them miserable? Will their family’s let them change?

To make it worse, Mary’s special friend told her a secret he has kept from her. We she go home devastated by it?

This charming book will make you wish you could go on vacation with these girls. This feel-good story will leave you with a smile on your face, and the smell of ocean air in your nose! There really is a Pinecraft, Florida, that many Amish vacation at yearly.

I highly recommend this five-star book. It will be enjoyed by all, but especially by fans of friendships, and vacationing.
