Journey to Pleasant Prairie Naomi's Hope, Book 3, (Paperback)

This is the final installment of the Journey to Pleasant Prairie series, but I read it as a standalone and had no problem. I was drawn to Naomi's character and admired her for adopting Davy as a single Amish lady. I can't fathom the struggles she faced. Naomi and Cap both struggle with their faith and show the human side of their characters. I enjoyed the way they grew and show vulnerability. Davy is a ball of energy that made me tired keeping up with him. His antics made the story come together. Throw in the beginnings of romance and a troublemaker and you have the makings of a page turner. I throughly enjoyed this book, as I found it well written with a story that keeps you interested. I received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

I have been eagerly waiting for Naomi's story since the beginning of this series. Naomi is such a gentle and giving person and to see her be passed by time after time was heartbreaking. But of course we know that everything comes in God's timing. It's looking like Naomi is going to have to be content to just be a momma to her adopted son Davey. A husband doesn't seem to be in her future. But just as she's determined to set that dream aside her family gets a new neighbor in the form of Cap Stoltzfus. He's kind and handsome to boot so of course Naomi is sure he would have no interest in her. Naomi is selling Cap short. He sees beyond her physical imperfections and into her heart. Naomi's Hope was a wonderful conclusion to the Journey to Pleasant Prairie series. Lots of intriguing situations that remind us that the Amish communities face many of the same issues as the rest of the world. Some people are deceitful and can't be trusted. While others can be truthful and very trustworthy. Discerning the difference between the two is a blessing the Holy Spirit brings. This series left me wanting to know what happens next in the lives of these interesting people. I hope that Jan sneaks some of them in the next series she writes! I received a copy of this book to facilitate my review.
