About this audiobook

Thirty-one-year-old Carolyn Lapp has never been married-but she's been a mother for fifteen years. In a community with strict standards and a long memory, Carolyn knows she might never find a man who will have her and her son, Benjamin.

Carolyn's family tries to marry her off to a widower with a daughter who needs a mother. A marriage of convenience doesn't sound so bad, yet despite her loneliness, Carolyn knows what she really wants: a traditional Amish family and a marriage for love.

When Benjamin gets into trouble at an auction, he finds himself beholden to a handsome horse breeder named Joshua Glick. Joshua and Carolyn feel an instant attraction, and soon a romance is budding between them. The trouble is Joshua believes Benjamin is Carolyn's nephew, not her son.

After years of shame and loneliness, Carolyn suddenly has two men vying for her attention. Can either man give her the family-and the unconditional love-she longs for? Or will her past once again sabotage the future she wants?

    This was a wonderful book because it told of forgiveness from one who had been in bad circumstances. She chose to forgive even though many around her would never do that & chose to hold onto the wrong for years.

    This story is about Carolyn Lapp, who lives with her Amish parents and her 15 year old son, Benjamin. Carolyn longs for a husband who will love her regardless of the mistakes she made in having a child out of wedlock. When Joshua Glick befriends Benjamin and then Carolyn, it looks as if love is in the air. But what happends when Joshua learns the truth about Benjamin being her son, when he believed he was her nephew? Another good story in this series.

    When she was just sixteen, Carolyn became an unwed mother. Because she had not yet joined the Amish church, she was not shunned and she was forgiven. But there were always some in her community who had not forgotten. Her older brother was one of her severest critics. Now her son is fifteen, and got a job at a newly horse farm, which led to a relationship between his boss and his mother. How they come to grips with her past indiscretion is well handled by the author. The characters, even the less prominent ones, are interesting. The only complaint I have is that the ending was rushed and tied everything up too quickly.

    Great sequel to A Hopeful Heart. I was in tears at the end. The characters are real and I found myself yelling at the characters. Like the first book in this series, I had a hard time putting this book down.

    I thought this was something. She wants to marry for love. Her brother thinks she should get married for her son sake. Benjamin get blamed for something he did not do. Though Joshua Glick and others. She fears about her secret coming out and destroying any love in her life. Carolyn need to learned to trust god. Her brother Amos has to learn so lesson as well. Find out what happens durning love triangle with Carolyn Lapp.
