ABOUT THE BOOK

One of today’s most beloved authors of inspirational Christian fiction, Shelley Shepard Gray completes her acclaimed Families of Honor series with The Survivor—a poignant and beautiful story of love and faith in a small Amish community. Delving once more into the lives of these devout and fascinating folk, as she did in her popular Sisters of the Heart and Seasons of Sugarcreek novels, Gray tells the story of a young Amish woman who has survived the ravages of cancer, but now longs for the love of the one man who can heal her lonely heart. Like Beverly Lewis, Wanda Brunstetter, and Cindy Woodsmall, Shelley Shepard Gray introduces readers to characters they will never forget as she masterfully depicts a world of simple living, abiding faith, and honest emotions.

MY THOUGHTS:

This was book 3 in the Families of Honor Series, I thought each book was as good as the other and they were all 3 stand alone stories, but of course it's always more fun to read them all!  This book didn't hold any real surprises and it was a pretty standard Amish read, but I still enjoyed it.  Following the characters from one book to the next makes them feel as family and I always enjoy following along with their stories!  This is a good lazy day read.
