Pre-Owned The Amish Outcast's Holiday Return

This is a wonderful story of love, redemption, and forgiveness! It's a reminder of the impact that our choices and actions have, be they positive or negative, and how long lasting the impact of those choices can last. In this case, Zach Miller finds out just how much of an impact his actions still have. Working to seek forgiveness, to let go of sad memories of his past family situations, reaffirm his faith, and be accepted into his new community is no easy task, but Zach is determined. One step at a time and one day at a time Zach begins to the fruits of his efforts, until an incident threatens to derail all he's worked for. I felt Zach's struggle deep down in my core. Forgiveness, not just about receiving forgiveness from others, but forgiving himself, was gut wrenching. But Zach pushed forward in his determination to do the right thing and this brought not just forgiveness, but redemption and even love. All of these elements make this beautiful story one that is not to be missed.

'How did one beg forgiveness for ending a man's life? Could Sarah Beiler forgive him after he'd taken away the man she loved?' Are there some mistakes and actions that can't be forgiven? Author Lacy Williams shares an intriguing story that shows two differing views of a tragic accident and its consequences. Will there be grief that is overwhelming, never forgotten, and allowed to fester into bitterness, or can that grief be experienced and then channeled into something positive? This is a touching story of making mistakes, seeking forgiveness, and being given a chance to start over. Williams reminds us that we are to forgive, as we are forgiven, and we are to help, and not hinder, those who have made mistakes. The Amish Outcast's Holiday Return is filled with sweet romance, family drama, and a strong faith element, including many heartwarming moments that reflect upon the miraculous story of Christmas. There are also some surprises that kept me turning the pages and longing for more! I recommend this book to all who enjoy Amish fiction and holiday-themed stories. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Celebrate Lit. There was no obligation for a review. These are my own thoughts.
