About the book: Book Two in the Inn at Eagle Hill series.Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher delivers her trademark twists, turns, and tender romance in this delightful and exciting visit to the deceptively quiet community of Stoney Ridge.
Twenty-year-old Bethany Schrock is restless. Her love life has derailed, her faith hangs by a thread, and she is spending the incredibly hot summer days wading through a lifetime's accumulation of junk at the home of five ancient Amish sisters. About the only thing that holds her interest is the spirited and dangerously handsome Jimmy Fisher---and he seems bent on irritating her to no end.
When the sly old sisters and a guest at the Inn get Bethany involved in running the local soup kitchen and starting a community garden, she suddenly finds herself wondering, Shootfire! How did that happen? Despite her newfound purposefulness, a gnawing emptiness about a childhood mystery continues to plague her. Encouraged by Jimmy Fisher, she will seek out the answers she craves---and uncover a shocking secret that will break her heart, heal it, and point her to love.
My review: I really enjoyed this book that continues the story of the Schrock family at their peaceful inn in the country. Bethany is a fun, feisty character and I found her interactions with different people, especially Jimmy, to be amusing. From her work with elderly hoarders to her search for the truth about her mother, not to mention the hint of romance, her story kept my interest throughout. I liked seeing Jimmy change and grow along with Bethany. The community project was interesting, along with one girl in particular she met. I love her fourteen-year-old sister, Mim, who's very smart and wise beyond her years. I really hope the next book has a lot about her! I loved that we got multiple viewpoints so we could see how different characters were thinking and feeling. It was interesting to see how the youth pastor who was a guest at their inn viewed her relationship with God and the differences in how they approached Him. I would love to stay at their inn and explore the countryside; it seems very peaceful and beautiful there. I can't wait to visit again when the third book comes out this summer!
I received this book free from Litfuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review.
