As David’s condition deteriorates, Dr. Noah determines to do whatever it takes to save the boy’s life. Carley is caught in the middle—drawn to Noah, wanting to be helpful in the crisis—and confused by all their talk about a God she neither knows nor trusts. Carley must decide what in life is worth pursuing . . . and what to do when she’s pursued by a love she never expected.

Counted life

The Amish life is filled with so much contentment, yet following the laws of the church, which are sometimes harsh, can cause so much pain. Then there is the case of forgiving one who broke church rules - a total lack of forgiveness… long after God has said … “forgive so you can be forgiven” All in all a thoroughly enjoyable book!

Hurt relationships

Great story I would listen to it again sometime. This book had a great story line. The narrator was great.
