FIVE HEARTS
Waneta (Neeta) Cain has worked for Henry for some time. At first she isn’t too happy to be working
with Mark, but then she realizes she’s judging without knowing all the
facts. Determined to see the best in
Mark, Neeta does her best to trust him and soon befriend him. When her parents
welcome him into their home, Neeta finds herself thinking of Mark as more than
a friend.
But all is not well in Horse Cave. Along with Mark’s return it appears someone
is beating women. As eyes turn toward Mark, Neeta continues to stand by him,
but is it enough to prove he is not guilty?
I’m not normally a fan of inspirational, religious based
stories. Shelley Shepard Gray is
definitely changing my view of them. She
tells such a good story that once you start you just don’t want to stop till
you get to the end…and then you want to read it again because it was just so
good. She writes to a solid cross-section
of readers in terms of age and experience.
Men, as well as women, will enjoy this series. Her latest, HIS GUILT is the second book of
her Amish of Hart County series, but it stands on its own.
Neeta and Mark are both complex characters. Despite them living what some of us might consider the simple Amish way of living, the characters are multi-dimensional and even within the short time span covered in the book both change and develop. Both separate and together they make the reader stop and think about actions and consequences. The secondary characters as well are fully developed and have their own interesting stories.
I figured out pretty early on who was beating up on the
different women in Horse Cave, but that didn’t in any way ruin the story for
me. Instead it had me unable to put the
book down until I found out if I was right or not—and how Gray was going to
resolve the situation.
I really enjoy this series and cannot wait for the next instalment along with the hope that it continues for a long, long time.
This is an objective review and not an endorsement of
this book.
