This book was even more enjoyable than the book Bygones, the first book in the Sommerfield Trilogy. The main character, Beth, is portrayed with much depth, especially in the emotional struggles she goes through trying to find her place in her mother's Mennonite family and community and in her quest to establish herself as a stained glass artist. This book shows strengths and weaknesses in family relationships but puts great emphasis on the importance of family in one's life. Beth's relationship...more
This book was given to me by my youngest daughter. I have not read the first book. The storyline was smooth sailing and the life that Beth Quinn came to know among the Mennenites of Sommerville, Kansas left her searching for a place to belong.

This second book in this series was better than the first. It actually ended differently than I thought it would! I love the unexpected.
Shallow, wavering characters. Not a surprise in sight.
Very self-serving population.

Great!
once again, w/ this novel, we see that life does NOT always have positive outcomes, but ...
and, we see that as different as we (people of different backgrounds/cultures/religions/... ) are from each other, at least when it comes to our "heart", we (same as above) are more alike than we probably would like to admit. we CAN, if we truly want to, live and coincide together in a positive manner.
it's amazing what GOD can do, especially if/when we let Him!!!

I really am loving this series! This is the story of Beth, Marie's daughter from the first book. I could not put it down!
This was a sweet trilogy about returning to faith and finding new love.
