Heart In Hand by Barbara Cameron

About The Book:

Anna is a widow who wonders if she's been given a second chance at love when she meets Gideon Beiler. Anna, a knitter and the oldest of the three cousins, watches the wedding of Naomi and Nick the following fall and remembers her own wedding. A widow, Anna thinks about how short her time with her husband was; as she looks at her grandmother, she wonders if Leah is recalling her own marriage. Her grandparents were married for a longer time than she and her husband were, but Anna and her grandmother lost their spouses only months apart three years ago. Perhaps this is why they have always felt so close. Both know how hard it is to be a widow, to go on with life. Gideon Beiler approaches Anna one day. Gideon is a wonderful, caring man. He, too, has suffered a loss - his wife, Mary, died and left him to raise their only daughter. Spring is a time for new beginnings, for love to bloom as nature thaws the earth and makes it come alive again after the long cold winter. As love begins to warm Anna's heart again, she's afraid to chance losing someone she has come to care so much about. Her grandmother tells her she believes Gideon may be the man God has sent for her to have a second chance at love. Stitches in time...and place: three cousins who laugh and love and learn about life together with their warm and wise grandmother, Leah, in their special shop. Two generations of Amish women who are bound by strong threads which bind them to their creativity and their community.

My Thoughts:

This is a wonderful book to read for this time of year. And if you did not know these women were Amish, they would be just like you and me. These women are real, and we all probably have a Leah in our lives. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
