My Review 💙
Holding out for true love...it's one of the hardest thing a person has to do, and something everyone can relate to, in one form or another. Sadie, the schoolteacher of the Amish community of Miller's Crossing, dreams of finding her true love, despite her father trying to force an arranged marriage with an older widow from their community on her.
When Levi, a newcomer to Miller's Crossing, comes to help repair the schoolhouse that was damaged during a recent storm, Sadie sees the man as a possible answer to prayer. What she doesn't realize is Levi has baggage of his own, and has come to this new community to start over, and is definitely not looking for a relationship, especially after suffering an incredible blow in the love department.
The relationship between Levi and Sadie is a slow build, but one that shows two broken people that are afraid of getting hurt, and is a road that is invokes empathy and was heartwarming to read. I loved how everyone worked together as a community to rebuild not only the schoolhouse but build each other up as well. I believe the theme of helping your neighbor is one that cannot be stressed enough, and this was one of my favorite parts of this novel.
If I had one complaint about the story it would be how often Levi mentioned his past hurt. I get that he is grieving, but it got to the point to where I wanted to yell, "Get over it already!" through the pages. Yet, as I write this I am again reminded of how relatable this is. How many of us have struggled to let go of a past hurt?
The Amish Teacher's Wish has such an organic feel, and has a wonderful flow. It is also the perfect reminder that God does have a plan for our lives, even when we don't see it, and life might not look like what we think it should, but beauty truly can come from ashes. I absolutely adored this novel and I know you too will not be disappointed.
