Another Winner From Vannetta Chapman!!

"A Home for Lydia"
    By Vannetta Chapman

I was very honored and excited to be included on Vannetta's Street Team to help launch her new books. What a privilege to be chosen to publicize her books-  the earlier ones, which I already had read and loved, as well as the new ones yet to come!! 

Vannetta's newest book, is a continuation of the Pebble Creek Series,  following "A Promise for Miriam". Next in the series will  be "A Wedding for Julia".

Synopsis:
Aaron Troyer is a farmer, like his dad  and gossdaddi before him and wishes to farm in Indiana , his own stomping ground!  However, God has other plans. He finds himself travelling to Wisconsin to oversee his deceased uncle's small group of Plain cabins located along Pebble Creek. The challenge that he did not foresee, was working with the somewhat stubborn, willful , yet attractive housekeeper, Lydia. 

Aaron has never had to contend with such an outspoken Amish female, in his entire life.  Lydia has strong opinions about EVERYTHING, including how the cabins are to run,  and lets them be known. Oh, do sparks fly and lightening flashes as the two young people clash on thoughts and new ideas to improve the cabins.  However, when danger strikes, NOTHING was more important to Aaron than making sure Lydia was safe.

Aaron and Lydia , come together to work on the vacation property, to make it profitable. Can they  find out who is causing the troubles and meet the challenges?? Will they be successful??  Lydia's heart has been softened with Aaron's care and concern. Is there a future for them together? Will the home that she has dreamed of, become a reality?

You MUST read this book to discover the answers!!

My Thoughts: 
Vannetta has a very special talent of describing her characters in a realistic way- in fact, within pages of beginning to read this book, I felt as though Lydia was a member of the family or at least a very good friend. The ability to make us become part of the story is evident throughout , being able to feel the challenges, stresses, worries, and joys that each character experiences. 

The element of mystery kept me glued to the page. The plot had twists and turns that were totally unexpected. In fact, within a day of receiving the  book, I was finished. Just couldn't put this book down!!  The intertwining plans were extremely well connected. With the mystery, a romance ran side by side.

The Amish faith and lifestyle has been well researched. The basis of the Amish community is  trust and faith and it comes through strongly .  Although many serious problems take place, they are dealt with in a typical way of the Plain People. With prayer and humility.  The reality is there!! 

Definitely a five star book!! Not to be missed!!

This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest and fair review.
