“Her Secret Hope,” by Shelley Shepard Gray

Starting Over!

Lilly is a young Amish woman who has left her midwestern home to live in Pinecraft, Florida. Adopted as a small child, her austere parents never let her, or anyone else, forget that.

She has decided she wants to do as her friends have done, move to Florida and start a new life. But things are different now. Lilly had counted on all of them hanging out together the way they had done when they were all single. However, her friends have all married, so can’t do as much with her as they did before.

To make it worse, the job she has as a housekeeper has turned into a nightmare. A guest wrongly accused Lilly of stealing. She claimed her sweater was taken when her room was cleaned, and insists Lilly took it. Lilly’s boss did not stand up for her, and it appears she may be fired.

Eddie and his grandmother are visiting Pinecraft and make Lilly a proposal. Although unorthodox, it may be an answer to her prayers. It would also give her time to explore her feelings for Eddie.

This tale had some surprising twists, and the ending was unexpected–especially if you have read the other books in the series. The story is clean, and stands on its own. I love the setting in Florida, and the descriptions of the area. Fans of Amish tales, and well-written stories will love this five-star book.
