An Unexpected Amish Harvest by Carrie Lighte is the 2nd book in The Amish of New Hope series. It can be read as a standalone if you have not indulged in Hiding Her Amish Secret. I thought An Unexpected Amish Harvest was well-written with realistic characters. Susannah Peachy and Peter Lambright began courting the previous year, but then Peter broke off their courtship without providing a reason. She wishes to avoid Peter, but it looks like it is not meant to be. Susannah has loving grandparents who wish to protect her and ensure that she has a safe future. That future may not be what Susannah has envisioned. There are a couple of secondary storylines in this tale. Miscommunication and misunderstandings abound. There were some good life lessons in this story. People should not be judged based on their outward appearance and things are not always the way they appear. We need to remember that there are two sides to every story. Forgiveness is one of the central themes. Forgiving someone does more for the person giving it than for the person receiving it. I like how it all came together into one heartwarming Amish tale. I appreciated the epilogue that nicely wrapped up the story. I am eager to read Caring for Her Amish Family. An Unexpected Amish Harvest is a sweet story about forgiveness, family, misapprehensions, friends, misperceptions, and love.
