From the Publisher:
Her
relationship with former fiance Paul Waddell in tatters, Hannah Lapp
has fled her home in hopes of finding refuge with another Amish
outcast, her shunned Aunt Zabeth in Ohio. Hampered by limited education
and hiding her true identity, Hannah struggles to understand the
confusing world of the Englischers
and embrace unfamiliar freedoms, but a deepening friendship with the
handsome Martin Palmer renews her courage to face the future.
My review:
If you loved When the Heart Cries,
you are really going to love this sequel. The story begins with Hannah
searching for her Aunt. She ends up all alone, cold and hungry. You
can't help but feel for her since the ending of the last book brought
out the many injustices she faced at the hands of people who were
supposed to be there for her. Of course, she does finally find her aunt
and her life starts to finally turn around.
Meanwhile, Paul
hasn't forgotten Hannah, and her sister Sarah is completely losing her
mind as a result of Hannah's disappearance. There is drama with other
members of Owl's Perch, too, but I won't spoil it by sharing the
details. In short, this story was just as hard to put down as the first
book in the series. I personally think it was even more romantic. But
you start to feel torn. Of course, the author resolves just enough of
the issues that you aren't freaking out when the story ends, but she
leaves some loose ends that make you crave the next installment. I
can't wait to read the third book in this series to find out what
Hannah decides to do with her life.
When the Morning Comes is published by Waterbrook Press and is scheduled to be released for sale on Sept. 4, 2007.
