The Wonder of Your Love

I didn’t want The Wonder of Your Love to end. Beth Wiseman’s latest installment to A Land of Canaan series entertained me and drew me into her story world.

New mom, Katie Ann Stoltzfus, lives in a small Amish community surrounded by her late husband’s family. Her infant son is her life, and she’s thrilled to be a mother even if she is almost old enough to be her son’s grandmother.

Eli Detweiler comes to Canaan to attend a wedding and visit family. He raised six kids on his own because his wife died while giving birth and he’s looking forward to the next phase in his life. His dream is to travel and Canaan is his first stop. When he see’s a woman that looks to be around his age with a baby he assumes it’s her grandson, but quickly finds out she’s the boy’s mother. He’s drawn to Katie Ann, but makes it clear he’s not interested in anything but friendship. He’s raised his family and he’s done with kids.

I don’t want to spoil the story for you, so I’ll leave it at that. I really enjoyed The Wonder of Your Love even though it’s the only book in the series I’ve read. It easily stands alone.
