Summary:
For years Zane Beck and his Amish neighbor Lila Lehman were best of friends. But just as Zane gathered the courage to discover if their friendship could develop into something more, her controlling father arranged for her to be courted by their bishop's son. Zane, heartbroken and frustrated, joined the army, running away from his shattered dreams.
The passing of time and the distance between Zane and Lila haven't been enough to halt their--now completely hidden--feelings for each other. Any hope for their love grows even more impossible though as Zane's service takes a dangerous turn when he's deployed to Afghanistan. Being on the frontline, confronted with the hard choices of war, has him questioning everything, including whether he can continue to serve or not. But all choices have consequences, and with Lila preparing to marry another, will these one-time sweethearts ever find the life together that they both still long for?
My Thoughts:
This was actually really good. I enjoyed the look into Amish lifestyle and into the life of a soldier in the army . . .
The thing is, I don't think Lila ever really confessed her love for Zane until the end . . . so it doesn't really say that she loves him before the end, it just shows her missing him.
But this book was still really good.
My Rating: 4 stars
**I received this book from Bethany House Publishers for free for my honest review. Thank you!**
