A Family for Gracie

By Amy Lillard

Book Overview

For the Amish of Pontotoc, Mississippi, faith and family are everything--even when they pose the greatest challenge . . .

Gracie Glick is known for being the helpful one, always available for a relative in need. But now that she's longing for a home and family of her own, it's time to help herself. With few eligible men in Pontotoc, Gracie's choices, and her time, are limited. So she takes a bold leap of faith: she proposes to Matthew Byler, a handsome, recently widowed, father of five. It's not until after they're married that Gracie learns Matthew doesn't want more children . . .

With his grief still fresh, and his children needing care while he tends to his farm, Gracie is the answer to Matthew's prayers. But a marriage in name only suits him fine. And when he finally tells Gracie the dismaying reason why, they must decide whether to continue
together--or apart. It's a choice that will force them both to look deeper into their hearts than ever before . . .

Will Gracie Glick finally get the family she longs for

A Family for Gracie is author Amy Lillard's newest book in her Amish of Pontotoc series. Gracie Glick has always done for other's be family or neighbors. Gracie longs for a family of her own, and when widower Matthew Byler, a farmer and father of five children move to Pontotoc to start over after his wife's death, Gracie goes out on the limb and suggests that they marry, so Mathew is not so overwhelmed taking care of his farm and his five children. It is a emotional journey for both Gracie and Matthew as they learn to adjust. Gracie is now responsible for five children who have lost their mother and a "husband" who is still grieving the lost of his first wife. A Family for Gracie is a heartwarming story of healing, trust, renewal of one's faith and love. Amy Lillard has written two other books in her Amish of Pontotoc series, and I highly suggest reading those also. You will fall in love with the characters and the story they have to tell I will provided with a complimentary copy of this book by the author Amy Lillard and her publisher.
