A Dream of Miracles, by Ruth Reid {book review}

About the book

Amish widow Mattie vows never to love again . . . until a suspicious outsider with a shadowy past comes crashing into her fragile world.

Mattie Diener can barely keep it together. A young Amish widow and mother of two young children, she faces the lingering heartbreak of lost love, her son’s mysterious illness, and a torrent of accusations that threaten to undo her.

Bo Lambright is a fast-rising social services investigator whose high-society mother won’t rest until she finds his Mrs. Right. Despite Bo’s worldly success, the raw ache of a shadowy past and a series of unsettling dreams have left him reeling.

When Mattie and Bo cross paths, all signs point to disaster. Yet as they face a crucible of trials and tragedies together, longings begin to stir that seem destined only to end in more heartbreak. Is a miracle possible—not only of healing but of forbidden love? What secrets lie in Bo’s dreams? And will Mattie find the courage to face her uncertain future . . . or will she simply run away?

What I thought about the book

When I discovered (as I was reading) what was going to take place in this book, Mattie being investigated by Child Protective Services, I thought I was going to suffer great emotions. Fortunately, I didn't! You see, I've been there, over a decade ago. (The first post of a four-part series telling about our experience)

It was a hard book to put down, once I began reading. I read breathlessly, eager to find out how everything turned out.

Read. Enjoy.
