I thoroughly enjoyed Sarah's Garden by Kelly Long. Perhaps it especially appealed to me because it centered around both simple living and gardening - two of my favorite subjects. The main female character, Sarah King, is a member of the Amish community in Pennsylvania and is an avid gardener. Unfortunately for her, she falls in love with an outsider - the new veterinarian to the community.
As Sarah and Grant, the vet, get to know each other they reach a point where they can no longer deny their love for each other. They seem to be at an impasse since Sarah will not leave her community for the outside world and Grant is not Amish. The resolution of the book is a testimony to allowing God to work in our lives. When He calls us to go in a certain direction He can overcome any obstacles blocking our path. We just have to be faithful to continue to walk in the direction He calls.
This is a very enjoyable book and I look forward to reading more books in this new Patch of Heaven series.
Although I received a copy of this book from the publisher, the opinions expressed are entirely my own.
