The Deacon's Family Series comes to an end with Two Steps Forward. You could probably read this book as a stand alone, but I would not recommend it. There are many repeat characters and as you read through the series you become quite connected to them. When you see their story continuing to unfold in each book it's like visiting an old friend. You want to hear about all that's been going on in their life and how they are doing. In this series it is Luke and Izzy. I loved revisiting them!
Two Steps Forward is about Jimmy and Sylvie. Jimmy has been away from the Amish community for four years working in Colorado with horses. He is used to getting by on his good looks and his charm...until Sylvie. Sylvie is a widow and she hires Jimmy to work on her farm because of his knowledge of horses, but it seems that is all she's interested in. However, it's not long before he manages to steal her heart.
Jimmy's mom Edith believes that Sylvie's farm belongs to her and she is working on a way to claim back the land. Has Sylvie made a terrible mistake in falling for Jimmy? Has he been using his charm just to get her land?
Suzanne Woods Fisher is an amazing Amish fiction author. Her series wraps up perfectly. What I like best about her books is that they are, what I call, easy reads. They are enjoyable, and steady paced. Not a lot of surprises, but such well developed characters that you can connect with. This is the kind of book I like to snuggle up under a cover with and read while drinking coffee.
***Thanks to Revell for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
