Katie Ann lost the love of her life. Then God offers her a new beginning in Colorado .
Katie Ann Stolzfus lives in the small Amish community of Canaan , Colorado . At forty she is widowed and raising her first child. But baby Jonas will never know his father, and Katie Ann wonders if her Heavenly Father hasn't forgotten about her as well. Is it really God's plan for her to be a single parent?
Eli Detweiler has come to Canaan for a wedding and a long vacation. Having raised six children following the death of his young wife, Eli is finally an empty-nester. He's enjoying the slower pace of having no one to care for but himself.
When Katie Ann and Eli meet, there is an instant connection. Yet as strong as the attraction is, they both acknowledge that a romance would never work. He is done parenting, while she has just begun.
But as their friendship slowly blossoms into feelings that are as frightening as they are intoxicating, Katie Ann and Eli question if the plans they made for themselves are in line with God's plans.
Can Katie Ann entrust her heart to another man, and rediscover the wonder of God's love?
MY THOUGHTS
Reading an Amish story is as wonderful as curling up beside the fire with a warm cuddly blanket and Beth Wiseman once again wrote an Amish story with very real characters. She is not afraid to push the limits and gives us characters with wit, sarcasm and real to life/believable circumstances.
Love is sometimes just beyond our grasp and you will feel that in this book as well as inspiration and a strong sense of God. Beth always adds a bit of a twist to her Amish stories keeping them from becoming predictable and I found this to be a very enjoyable read.
The Wonder of Your Love is Book #2 in the Land of Canaan series and the characters do follow through, you may feel more comfortable knowing the history behind the story by reading book #1, but it's not necessary.

I love Beth Wiseman's work. She is amazing. I always feel warm and comfy when I read Amish fiction too. :) Who'd have thunk it? I was hardcore into thrillers and horror before I read my first Amish fiction. :) Thank you for sharing.
