A Dream of Miracles (Thomas Nelson, April 2016)

Amish widow Mattie vows never to love again . . . until a suspicious outsider with a shadowy past comes crashing into her fragile world.

Mattie Diener can barely keep it together. A young Amish widow and mother of two young children, she faces the lingering heartbreak of lost love, her son’s mysterious illness, and a torrent of accusations that threaten to undo her.

Bo Lambright is a fast-rising social services investigator whose high-society mother won’t rest until she finds his Mrs. Right. Despite Bo’s worldly success, the raw ache of a shadowy past and a series of unsettling dreams have left him reeling.

When Mattie and Bo cross paths, all signs point to disaster. Yet as they face a crucible of trials and tragedies together, longings begin to stir that seem destined only to end in more heartbreak. Is a miracle possible—not only of healing but of forbidden love? What secrets lie in Bo’s dreams? And will Mattie find the courage to face her uncertain future . . . or will she simply run away?

My Take:  This book was very interesting to me as I have a Social Work degree and have worked in Social services for a great deal of my working life.  I do know of some people becoming over zealous in their jobs in the name of keeping the clients safe when what they are really going is just making everything worse,  Mattie comes under fire when she takes he child to an unfamiliar doctor and the doctor thinks he spots abuse.  Bo is the helpful Social Worker who just wants to do his job the best he can.  This book is about what happens when they all meet up together. 

I was sent a review copy of this book in exchange for my honest review by Litfuse.

Find out more about Ruth at:http://ruthreid.com My Take:  I just love stories that the characters fall in love despite what is going on in their lives.  This is one of those stories where the characters are thrown together because they see no other way to overcome the odds.  Josiah lost his wife and has a young daughter to raise, Lindie  is pregnant with another man's baby and feels like marrying Josiah is the only way to have a life.  The two of them have some big obstacles to over come but they manage.  A Great start to a new series.   I recieved a review copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest opinion.
