Book Description
She isn't looking for love. He's mending a broken heart. It will take divine intervention for these two to get together
Local Amish schoolteacher Lilly Lapp is tired of weddings, afraid of horses, and immersed in caring for her depressed mother. But when Jacob Wyse, a handsome horse breeder from her small community rescues her from a dangerous accident, Lilly discovers a renewed interest in life and the possibility of love.
Yet Jacob has lost the one true love of his life to another man and doesn't care to expose himself to the vulnerabilities of loving again.
God works to bring this unlikely pair into a sweet romance to produce a pattern of faith, which leads to the creation and comfort of Lilly's Wedding Quilt.
If your a regular reader here, you know how much I love Christian historical fiction. I also love reading books about the Amish. I have read quite a few books about the Amish by other authors. I liked the story line of Lilly's Wedding Quilt. The characters seem real, as do the farm and community life described in this book.
Lilly's Wedding Quilt includes depression in one of the characters. This is shown in a very compassionate way. Her community rallies around to support her, helping in many ways, from chores, to food, to rides to the doctor. How nice it would be if everyone who suffered from depression had such a supportive community.
Lilly's Wedding Quilt is A Patch of Heaven Novel. I haven't read the other book in this series. You don't need to read the first book to enjoy the second.
I enjoyed reading Lilly's Wedding Quilt. If you like reading books about Amish life, I think you'll enjoy it too.
