About the book:
Amy Knackstedt hopes a new start in Weaverly, Kansas, will help heal the pain of losing her husband and provide a better future for her three children. But her new neighbor, Tim Roper, is not pleased to have an Old Order Mennonite family living next to his apple orchard. Tim left the Mennonite faith years ago and doesn't want any reminders of his former life.
Yet when circumstances throw Amy and Tim together, they form a friendship that surprises them both. Will past hurts always be a barrier between them, or will this tentative relationship blossom into something more?

My thoughts:
When Hope Blossoms is a book that, while a slower-paced story, completely held my attention and I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm not typically a huge Amish fiction reader, but I'm so glad that I read this one.
I loved the characters and found the setting and storyline delightful. I like how Mr. Roper grew throughout the book - he was definitely my favorite character.
All in all, a great read and I recommend When Hope Blossoms to fans of the genre. It's a good one. :)
