Mission of Love blurb
A nontraditional Amish man called to minister to the inner-city youth. An overwhelmed Amish woman terrified of the idea. When lies and manipulators threaten to destroy her life, she’s forced outside her comfort zone. Will she learn that God’s love spreads to more than just her people?
Plain Redemption
Spring is a long way in coming to the Big Sky country of Montana, and Lyddie Hershberger is still living in the winter of her life. First her husband died a little more than a year earlier, then Lyddie lost their unborn child. Now, an accident sends her father-in-law to the hospital clinging to his life. Will the gloom of winter ever leave their West Kootenai community?
When word of his daed’s accident reaches Thomas Hershberger in Colorado, he rushes home to find all his old sins waiting for him there, along with the woman who destroyed his heart. His brother’s widow, Lyddie Hershberger.
After someone breaks into the family home while Thomas and Lyddie are at the hospital, it soon becomes apparent that his father’s accident is anything but.
As Lyddie and Thomas struggle to understand why someone wishes their family harm, old feelings of love resurface. Is it possible for Thomas to overcome the guilt he feels for his part in his brother’s death and convince Lyddie that their love can melt any heartache standing in their way?
Bid for Love
The top bidder in the Amish silent auction wins a day of yardwork from Marty and two of his friends. But why did this wealthy Englischer pay so much money when she has a professional lawn service? Marty is shocked to when she offers him money to turn her granddaughter Amish. He refuses, but when Olivia and her grandmother both end up missing, Marty is fingered for the crime. How can he ever prove his innocence when all the clues the police find point to his guilt?
My Thoughts
Mission of Love by Laura V. Hilton: I enjoyed reading this story and I liked Jace and Cindy. I did not care much for Linda, however, and it made me frustrated for her lack of help and concern for others. The ending came a little abruptly as I would have liked to see a little bit more about whether Linda changed, but maybe that is a story to come.
Bid for Love by Rachel J. Good: I enjoyed reading this story, also. I wasn't sure what was going on with Gram. I felt like this story could have been a full length novel. This would have allowed the mystery to be elaborated more. It felt a little rushed. I liked Martin and Olivia and would have liked to see more of their relationship develop.
Plain Redemption by Mary Alford: I hadn't read any books by Mary Alford before. I enjoyed this story and was kept guessing about what was going on and what was going to happen. The fact that Lyddie and Thomas had a past history made the relationship feel less rushed. I liked the pacing of the story and didn't feel like it was as rushed as the other two stories in the book. I look forward to reading more books by Mary Alford.
