Lorie's Heart Book Review

I was excited to get to the third book in this series.  Lorie's Heart (A Wells Landing Romance) by Amy Lillard was the next book in my pile to read from the library.  I have so many library books that I have had on my list this summer and I got a bunch out early on so that I could read through the piles quickly and now I have been spending the summer renewing the books.  I can't believe that I have barely gotten through my whole pile yet and the summer is almost over.



Welcome back to Wells Landing, Oklahoma, the tranquil Amish community where still waters run deep and a brave young woman sets out to discover her faith, her family, and herself…

Lorie Kauffman is grief-stricken when her father passes away unexpectedly. But her heartache quickly turns to bewilderment when she discovers he’d been leading two lives—one of simplicity and hard work in Wells Landing, and one fraught with painful ordeals in Tulsa. As she starts digging into her family’s past, Lorie finds herself torn between the Amish world and the Englisch world—and she’s no longer certain where she belongs…

Lorie knows that if she leaves Wells Landing, she may never be able to return. But what if her destiny lies in the outside world—the world her father knew so well? Change is never easy, but with a bit of courage and the help of a handsome and kind-hearted Englischer, she just may find the peace, acceptance, and love she’s been longing for…

I enjoyed getting to know Lorie Kauffman and was sad with all of the things that she was going through after her father's death.  She learned that he not who he said he was after seeing a tattoo on his chest when they identified the body at the morgue.  She followed the mystery and revealed truths about herself and her past including finding her long lost grandmothers.  It was a heartwarming and heart breaking story of family and being an individual.  She gave up her hopes and dreams to come back to her family but she was miserable.  I thought it was a great story and an amazing journey but you have to pick up the book to see for yourself.  I hope that you check out this book and the rest of the Wells Landing series.  I know that I have enjoyed the stories and the characters a lot.  I can't wait to start reading the next book in the series.
