Sarah's Garden - by Kelly Long

I love a good work of Christian fiction and Sarah's Garden by Kelly Long did not disappoint! I was immediately drawn into the life of Sarah King, a good Amish woman who was torn between the faith with which she had been raised and the potential love of her life. The book was well-written in that the reader feels Sarah's attraction to the new veterinarian in town, while at the same time roots for her to remain true to the simple life she knows and loves.

Sarah is what we might call a Master Gardener and helps her new neighbor learn of the joys and blessings that come from having a garden and growing herbs and vegetables. While the garden is growing, so is their forbidden love.

Although parts of the book were predictable, the author did a good job of taking the reader for a few unexpected twists and turns. I enjoyed them very much.

I will be picking up Kelly Long’s other books in this Patch of Heaven series to follow the story of these people of Amish faith.
