The Trustworthy One

By: Shelley Shepard Gray

Narrated by: Tavia Gilbert

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray returns to the charming and evocative Walnut Creek Series with “this sweet Amish love story” (Woman’s World) following one broken young woman whose search for peace leads her back to her hometown, where she rediscovers her faith and reconnects with those she loves most.

Kendra Troyer always knew she would leave Walnut Creek the first chance she got. When she was accepted into design school, she tried her best not to look back at the four siblings she was abandoning, but ahead to Columbus, where she was determined to stay—far away from her abusive home and far away from Nate Miller, the boy she vowed to despise for the rest of her life.

Though she suffered through dark times in Columbus, Kendra found her faith in the Lord again, and years later, when she learned one of her good friends had died, she realized it was time to go home to those she left behind.

Back in Walnut Creek, Kendra has a life she never could have imagined: her own design shop, a pretty little house, and a tight-knit group of friends. After she settles down, though, unexpected visitors come knocking and dark memories begin to resurface. Complicating things even further is the ever-present Nate Miller, who now owns the hardware store two doors down and whose very presence stirs in Kendra a fierce need to turn away and hide from her past. But Nate is persistent in setting things right between them.

As Kendra tries to come to terms with the anger she holds from her childhood, will she be able to open her heart to forgiveness and find the comfort she has always longed for in Walnut Creek?

The Trustworthy One

I did finish this one, but I did have a problem keeping the names understood. Many from the eight and then some new ones here. Now that this is over, I have to start another as this series is finished. It brought to the ending some of the unfinished parts of the earlier story.

Thumbs Up!

I will miss this group of friends. Great books! Ms Gray has a wonderful way of wrapping her readers up into the characters' lives.

Didn’t finish

I respect Ms Gray and I do know these conditions exist in the world. I have enough real issues in my life that I don’t need to read about the long lasting effects of darkness. I did listen to the other books in the series even though I almost stopped after the downer tone of book 1. Two was a bit better. Three was another downer. I did like the characters and wanted more so I tried Book 4. Sorry I did. Whole series is just to much mournful, evils of the world. I need happier books so I won’t be looking at this author again.
