About the book:
They're each other's best hope for redemption--and love
Ex-con Seth Zimmerman has spent the last three years making amends by helping the vulnerable in his former Amish community. Lately, this mission includes calling on Tabitha Yoder, whose divorce from her abusive husband has isolated her from the community. Even though she never comes out of her house to talk to him, Seth knows she watches him from the window while he chops wood, clears her driveway, and drops off food.
An uneasy friendship is just starting to take hold between them when small gifts begin to appear at Tabitha's home--gifts that can only be from her ex-husband. Seth might be Tabitha's only hope at maintaining her hard-won freedom from the man whose violent outbursts had almost cost her life. But coming to her rescue might mean he ends up behind bars once again.

My review:
I enjoyed this story about second chances and finding a new path in life. I really felt for both Seth and Tabitha as one impulsive decision they each made changed the course of their lives and they're still dealing with the consequences. Seth was such a great guy; I really admired him for so many reasons and especially for looking out for Tabitha when others wouldn't. Tabitha had been so naive and it was heartbreaking that she put up with abuse for so long and that it happened in the first place. There's a secondary love story about Seth's sister and a guy she's seeing who has some growing up to do. Seth and Tabitha have a strong faith, especially after going through hard things. There's some romance and suspense and a bit of action. I would recommend this book if you like romance.
I received this book free from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
