Having enjoyed the previous book in The Sisters & Friends series by Rachel J. Good, I was looking forward to continuing the series with Gift From Above. I found it to be just as delightful. Readers are able to catch up with characters from the previous story and meet new ones as well. The premise of the story is rather unique with Sarah, a naive young Amish woman, coming upon a man who fell from the sky and then hiding him--keeping him secret from her family and the community. Her Mammi knew as well and it was a bit humorous how she interacted with this big city guy and his friend...often reminding them they need to turn to God for His forgiveness and guidance. The characters are likable and relatable, strong and yet their flaws are there too. And, of course, there is romance. Sarah has loved Jakob, her sister's former boyfriend, for many years. Would they be able to look to the future instead of being bound to the past? Lots of twists to the plot keep interest high. I wouldn't mind if there were a fourth book in this engaging series, I'd love to continue to catch up with Sarah and her family.
I received a complimentary copy of the book. A favorable review was not required and opinions are my own. This review is part of a CelebrateLit Promo Blast.
