Jeb's Wife by Patricia Johns - Review


BACK  OF  THE  BOOK  BLURB
Patricia Johns' sensitive storytelling brings depth and 
heart to this tender story of second chances, as an
Amish woman embarks on marriage with the 
gruff farmer next door...

Once, Leah Riehl prayed for a husband. The man she loved chose another, wanting the children that Leah can't provide. But she's found a measure of peace, keeping house for her brother, Simon, and teaching in a nearby town. Now though, Simon's debts to an Englisher gambling ring have left Leah with a desperate dilemma---and a surprising offer from her scarred, reclusive neighbor. Jebadiah King needs to marry in order to claim his family farm. A union, for appearances only, will help them both.

Jeb knows his scars make him a less than ideal husband, but he can be a useful one. It's the least that Leah deserves. But despite the promises he made to himself, Jeb can't help longing for his lively, warmhearted new wife. His first marriage brought heartbreak, but Leah's gentle smiles spark hope again. Are they willing to take the leap that love requires---and open themselves to all the challenges and joy a true marriage could bring?


MY  REVIEW

What an inspiring story! Two people who have been hurt by past relationships coming together to save a a mans life, can they make it work? Would you take less than perfect to save another, if so would you be able to life the rest of your life honoring the agreement you made in a hurry?
