Book Review: Hannah's Joy by Marta Perry

Book 6 in the Pleasant Valley Series

As young widow Hanna struggles to adapt to Amish customs, she encounters William Brand, who works in the furniture shop next door. William struggles too and feels isolated from the community because of his stutter. Having studied speech therapy in college, Hannah offers to help William improve his speech, and slowly their timid friendship blossoms into deep affection. Still, Hannah is aware that the barriers between them are great.

Her late husband, who came from a long line of military men, would object to Amish pacifist beliefs. How can she raise her son in a community that her deceased husband would almost certainly object to?

I loved this book! I enjoyed reading every bit of it and felt as though I was right there watching the story and romance unfold. You can't beat an awesome book like this where you really do feel like you're watching what's going on between the characters.

That does sound like a good read. Where did you find it?

I borrowed it from the public library. I think Wal-Mart has it, otherwise Barnes & Noble, maybe Borders(some have gone out of business) or Amazon.com should have it. Check your local library too.
