Seasons of Tomorrow by Cindy Woodsmall Review

As love restores Rhoda, a sudden tragedy is the test of faith she never saw coming.

More settled in her heart than ever before, Rhoda Byler feels a newfound confidence living in the Old Order Amish settlement she helped establish in Orchard Bend, Maine. Time has helped to heal the wounds of Rhoda’s recent severed relationship, and she finds that even her unusual gift of profound intuition is less of a burden as she continues to seek God’s wisdom for her future. She is happy to be working alongside the King family and the love of her life as they tend and nurture the settlement’s orchard.

Yet when Leah King’s involvement with Englischer Landon Olson becomes known outside of the Maine community, her disregard of the Ordnung could threaten all the Orchard Bend Amish are building. In the midst of addressing the discord, a shocking tragedy challenges the young settlement like never before, threatening to uproot Rhoda’s peace and the future of everything she holds dear.

When several members of Orchard Bend Farms are displaced, the estranged King brother is called upon to return. Can those who founded the new Amish community in Maine unite Or will the lingering pain of past hurts and present struggles result in the end of their dreams?

My Review:

This is a series that I have been reading and I am so glad that I have read this installment. I love the author's knowledge of the Amish and how she uses it in her writing. I felt like I was with Rhoda and helping her build her settlement. The characters are lively and they have been through so much in the past books. However they never give up on their faith. The inner struggle of the Amish world and the Englisher world has always been tough for the characters. Leah is no exception. She does not realize that she is putting more than her own future at stake. A tragedy is never good, but for Rhoda it comes at the worst time. Old memories resurface and so do estranged people from the past. Will they all be able to get along and save their home? This was a really nice book to read. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from Blogging For Books, however all opinions are my own.
