I knew that I would like this book and I DID! Here's my review:
I really enjoyed this story in its entirety! Amish fiction is my absolute favorite, and this book is a real gem. It has themes of faith and hope. There's also a love story that seems hopeless, but God had other plans.
Mary is amazing! She doesn't let her disability define her. She does the best that she can, one day at a time. Reuben is the epitome of a healer. He gave up a lot to be a doctor, and it's his passion. Bishop Troyer is my favorite! His wisdom and compassion help make Mary and Reuben's love possible. Honorable mention to the cat, Hope! I love how she wraps up the book!
My favorite parts are when the characters realize their need for God and pray to Him for guidance. "I think what Gott actually places in our path are honest friends who light a fire under us when we're hesitating to go where we need to go." Mary puts her future in God's hands and trusts that He will place her on the right path.
Here's my review: This book was informative and interesting! I love it when authors take a piece of history and create an amazing fictional story. FDR is one of the presidents that I admire and this book showcased his leadership abilities and his dedication to the United States of America. Lizzie is an exceptional woman! She's an advocate, a confidant, and extremely loyal. She stayed with FDR literally until the end. We need more people in the world like Lizzie!
