The Search~Book Review and Blog Tour


Fifteen years ago, Lainey O'Toole made a split-second decision. She couldn't have known that her choice would impact so many.
 
Now in her mid-twenties, she is poised to go to culinary school when her car breaks down in Stoney Ridge, the very Amish town in which her long-reaching decision was made, forcing her to face the shadowed past.
 
Bess Reihl is less than thrilled to be spending the summer at Rose Hill Farm with her large and intimidating grandmother, Bertha. It quickly becomes clear that she is there to work the farm--and work hard. The labor is made slightly more tolerable by the time it affords Bess to spend with the handsome hired hand, Billy Lapp. But he only has eyes for a flirty and curvaceous older girl.
 
Lainey's and Bess's worlds are about to collide and the secrets that come to light will shock them both.
 
"Beautifully written, 'The Search' is a skillfully woven story that takes readers through unexpected twists and turns on the long country road toward truth. Fans both old and new will find themselves immersed in this heartwarming--and surprising--tale of young love, forgiveness, and coming to grips with the past."
  

*I enjoyed this book simply as a good Winter evening read. It's not too heavy of a read that you have to keep characters straight and it is a "clean" story. Simply Good Reading!! I did feel like the ending had me hanging though as I would have loved to see Bess accept her marriage proposal.*

I was given this book by LitFuse to read and review, all opinions are my own.
