About the Book

Home from the Storm

Title: Home from the Storm
Series:
Johns Mill Amish Romance #4
Author:
Laurel Blount
Publisher:
Berkley
Release Date:
December 26, 2023
Genre: Inspirational Romance Amish

In this stirring Amish romance about love and second chances, a shunned man returns to protect the wife he left behind—and falls in love with the family he never knew he had. 

After a senseless loss, hotheaded Caleb Hochstedler left his Amish faith and his young wife to seek justice. Two years later, he tracks his parents’ killer back home to Johns Mill, where he’s astonished to learn he’s the father of twins. Now he's determined to protect his children and the woman he still loves—if she’ll let him. 

Her new husband’s abandonment broke Rhoda Lambright’s heart and proved her father, the bishop, right. Such a stubborn man could never be happy among the peaceful Amish. When Caleb unexpectedly returns, Rhoda is caught between her rock of a husband and a very hard place. 

Her church forbids divorce and requires forgiveness, so Rhoda lets Caleb back into their home. But can she ever let him back into her heart? One thing’s for certain sure. This second chance will take all the faith they can find.

My thoughts: What an emotional roller coaster! I can only imagine what both characters are feeling, as they have been put in a tough situation by the murder of Caleb's parents, his search for justice, and his shunning. It would be hard to suddenly be on your own, as Rhoda is, when Caleb is shunned. The author does a wonderful job of writing a story full of mystery, suspense, and heart. The mystery that has been woven through the other books in the series is finally going to get some answers. I thought that this was a wonderful, well written mystery. I look forward to reading more by the author!

I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review.
