Eventide by Shelley Shepard Gray

About the Book: A young Amish woman harbors a difficult secret. Does she dare share the truth with the man she hopes to marry?

Elsie Keim doesn't want to be left behind. Her twin sister, Viola, and her older brother, Roman, have both found love and are building lives of their own. But Elsie? She's still stuck at home, being treated like a child. No one seems to consider her a capable woman-all they see are the thick lenses of her glasses, constant reminders that Elsie suffers from keratoconus and is slowly going blind.

Elsie knows there's much more to her than her disease. That's why when a new neighbor, Landon Troyer, shows some interest in her, she doesn't want anything to scare him away . . . even if it means keeping her condition a secret.

Landon is ready to start a new life and feels like Elsie may just be the right woman to start it with. But when Roman steps in and shares the truth about Elsie's illness, Landon is floored. His job is demanding and takes him away from home, sometimes for days at a time. How could he keep up with his responsibilities and take care of Elsie?

My Take:  I have enjoyed every book that I have read by Shelley Shepard Gray.  This book is no exception.  It is the end of the Redemption Series. Like all of her other books this book involves really life problems that would affect families anywhere and it shows how the Amish deal with the problems just like you and I would and that they are people just like us and are not immune to things we all as humans have to deal with.  You will want to read the first two books in this series because you will want a sense of satisfaction as the series finishes up.  Good end to a good series. 

I received a review copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest opinion.
