Her Only Wish Book Review

 I was excited to get to read the next book in this series after having the chance to read the first.  The cover was again set in beautiful Pinecraft but it showed a different character so I was excited to find out who this book was going to follow.  I love all of the books that I have read by Shelley Shepard Gray especially the first book in the Season in Pinecraft series.

 

Return to Pinecraft, Florida, for a Sweet Amish Romance

Sheltered yet adventurous, Betsy Detweiler is on a mission to get out of Kentucky and experience new things in life. She's got a list--a life list. What better place to start than with her friends in beautiful Pinecraft, Florida?

From the moment Betsy walks into the Snow Bird Golf Course to sign up for lessons, August Troyer is mesmerized. Betsy is a mass of contradictions--beautiful yet awkward, outgoing yet unsure, joyful yet hesitant. She's like no one he's ever met before, and as the only child of missionary parents, he's met a lot of people.

As Betsy and August embark on a month of enjoying life to the fullest, they'll encounter several reasons to back off and play it safe. But playing it safe has its own consequences. This tender romance reminds us that life--and love--requires a fair amount of risk.

I was excited to see Betsy return in this book to have another vacation from her small town in Kentucky to stay with her friend Mary Margaret in Pinecraft. Betsy is working on changing her life because she has lived with lifelong medical problems. Betsy has set up a life list of things that she wants to accomplish. She has decided that the first thing that she going to try is learning to play golf.  She has no athletic ability but has decided that she has decided she is determined to learn.  Betsy meets August Troyer who works at the golf course. She was set that during the month in Pinecraft she is going to finish her list but what she learns is even more valuable because she makes many lifelong friends. Betsy is learning a lot along the way but in addition to her list, she is learning more about herself then she ever thought as well as to be independent.  I hope that you check out this book and enjoy it as much as I did but I do highly suggest starting with the first book in the series first.  This was a great follow up book to tell Betsy's story.  I can't even wait to read the next book in the series to follow our last friend through her life changing process.

**I was provided a copy of the book for my review but the review was not required to be positive.
