She isn't exactly shy, but she's hesitant to get involved with the youth in the community because she isn't going to stay. She especially doesn't want a new romance. p centerbiAn Adventurous Hero/center/b/i Abner Hilty is excited to see his twin brother, Abram, for the first time in years. The two fled their hometown of Shipshewana when their witness of a murder put their lives in danger, Abner heading to Montana to work on a ranch and hunt big game, Abram meeting a girl in Missouri, marrying, and settling down there. Abner decides to spend the holidays with them in Seymour, but he has every intention of returning to Montana, maybe even for good. p centerbiAn Unexpected Snowstorm/center/b/i At a chance encounter, Abner is immediately drawn to Mercy, and even more so when he realizes that they've met before, back in Shipshewana. Initially alarmed, Mercy soon warms to his attentions, even though she keeps him at arm's length. She also branches out and begins attending youth functions, forming new friendships that are solidified during a rare snowstorm. Just when Mercy and Abner are beginning to think about a long-term relationship, Mercy gets a phone call that changes everything. The information would have been welcome months ago, but now that she knows Abner, she's torn, and she will have to do some serious soul-searching to decide how to act on it.

You know when an author names three of the characters , Patience, Joy, and Mercy that the book is going to be fantastic! I could not put this book down, it grabbed me from page one.

I did not however like the characters Joy or Paul.  I was  however so happy at the ending. I pulled for Mercy and Abner every step of the way.

This is a very well written Amish fiction book. You are going to love your tip to Webster County and be very sad to leave.

I gave this book 5 stars and I highly recommend this book.

WARNING: Loss of sleep! You will be up reading into the night you can not put this book down.

I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.
