Oh, I so loved this book! Forgiven is the story of Winnie and Samuel. When a fire begins in her brother's barn, Winnie tries to free the animals and ends up trapped in the burning barn. She is rescued by her brother, Jonathan, and taken to the hospital where Jonathan has asked Samuel, a former Amish man - currently a college professor, to look after her. Samuel begins spending a lot of time among the Amish again, helping out in the community. Will he and Winnie be able to form a relationship or ...more
"Forgiven" by Shelley Shephard Gray is the third book of her Sisters of the Heart series about the Amish community. When Jonathan's barn is burned down, his sister is badly hurt and he is filled with anger and a desire to find out who was smoking on his property that caused the fire. The other story line is romance that his sister, Winnie, finds as a result of the fire. It has an interesting twist and is an enjoyable read. Naturally, as the title gives away, Jonathan finds forgiven...more

Since her brother was busy trying to clean up the disaster, he asked Samuel Miller to take her and visit her regularly since he lived and worked near the hospital. Samuel left the Amish community before being baptised to continue his education and is now a c...more
This is by far the best of Gray's works, and the best in this series. Her characterizations are so authentic and poignant, I couldn't help but get drawn into their lives and their story. The plot construction was far better than the others, also. All the subplots come together to help force the main plot. I have to emphasize, the best aspect to this novel is her deep and profound internal dialog of her characters. Very riveting.
The first two books in the Sisters of the Heart trilogy were better. This one didn't focus on the main characters so much because it was finishing/wrapping up the other story lines at the same time. About an Amish woman whose injured in a fire who finds her match in a man that left the community to go to college and become a professor.
This was a greatend to the series. I love how Anna and Henry's story carried over to this book. I loved all the storylines, with the fire and with the Miller brothers, and then of course Winnie and Sam. I loved the ending with how it included Anna, Katie and Winnie. That was a great way to bring the series to an end. I think every book got better. It felt like Annaand Henry's feelings for each other developed too quickly, but the next two books definitely were an improvement.

Another Amish "romance." At least in this one they actually got outrageously passionate and... well they kissed. On the lips. Whoa. Again, Romance is not my preferred genre but a nice change of pace once and a while. But, eh.
Winnie has been looking for love and has almost given up on looking. Still living with her Amish brother, his wife and two children, she is awakened one night by loud popping noises. She finds the family barn in flames. She helps her brother rescue the animals but is injured in the fire. Her time spent in the hospital away from her family is difficult.
I didn't enjoy this book as much as I did the other 2 in the series. Even though it involved some of the same characters I just didn't find them as interesting as in the other books.
WONDERFUL book!! I read the entire series this past week and it was a wonderful series! I am looking forward to reading more books by Shelley Shepard Gray!
This was my first experience with a bonnet novel, so I don't really have much to compare it to. It's...different, I'll give it that.
Third in the trilogy about an Amish family and their community and an Englisher turning Amish for love. This book, I think, was the best.
I feel I fallen in loved the this family and it neighbors of this series. I have recommend it anyone this series. I have enjoyed this series and am getting ready to Grace.
It had been a long time since I'd read the first two books in this trilogy, and I didn't really remember much about them. Happily, this can be read as a stand-alone.
Last of a trilogy. The other ones were easy uplifting reading. Let's see how this one goes. It was okay. Not a lot of thinking or great writing, but an enjoyable read.
nice ending to the series
this book was not as good as the author's other books.
I enjoyed seeing all the stories come together in this book. I also liked Winnie much more in this book. I am a little surprised at how easy this series makes it seem to go back and forth between Amish and English.
I love it. I cant wait to see what happens with Winnie and Samual.
