I received this book as a free download from Amazon, and I did enjoy it. Naturally, this is book three in a series, so in many ways I felt like I was coming in late to the party in some of the storyline. Even so, Cameron does a good job of bringing the reader up to speed, and it definitely made me want to read the other two books. Naturally, though, this book contains spoilers to the other two, so having finished this one, I feel like I know exactly what happens in the other two. One thing I really liked about this book was how the author tackled the subject of infertility. A lot of times in literature it's either brushed over or assumed that the heroine will have children no trouble, so I appreciated that this character was struggling with that instead. It gave her an added layer of relatability to someone who might be going through something similar, even though by the end of the book you always had the impression that she would find herself pregnant. In any case, if I had any criticism for the book, I think it would be that the main character's inability to communicate when she was upset about something seemed a little unreasonable, not to mention her selfish train of thought about the children that would have been hers if her current husband and herself had not been separated as teens. In my mind that seems like a strange thought because her stepchildren we're half-dna'd from another woman so if something had happened differently, her own children might have been completely different than the one's she loved - thus a reason to be thankful for the separation, not angry. BUT I must allow that not everyone thinks like me and I'll leave it at that. :) Anyway, I'd definitely recommend this book. I liked the writing and enjoyed the read. I would definitely pick up a book by Cameron again. After Years of Hardship, Jenny's Life Appears Perfect. So Why Does Something Seem to Be Missing Jenny Bontrager is finally at a place of love and belonging with her husband, Matthew, and his children. Life seems golden with both her family and career as a writer. But everything Jenny now believes in is thrown into question with the discovery of a long-lost letter from her father. Her sense of peace and contentment destroyed by betrayal, Jenny struggles with her renewed faith--and the love of everyone around her. "Barbara Cameron has written another wonderful, sweet story that tugs at the emotions. Amish fiction fans will definitely want to add A Time for Peace to their library." --Kathleen Fuller, best-selling author of A Summer Secret, A Hand to Hold, and The Secrets Beneath "A Time for Peace, Barbara Cameron's newest heartwarming story in the Quilts of Lancaster County series, invites readers to come on in, sit down around the table for a cup of tea while getting to know this Amish family where love is happening. When troubles and doubts come for Jenny, you'll be living her story with her and hoping she won't lose sight of that ribbon of love that so strongly binds these people together." Ann H. Gabhart, author of The Outsider, Summer of Joy, and Angel Sister.My Review - I figured out the ending to the book before it came but I still loved following all the characters to that part. Seeing them grow and learning more about them was really interesting. Overall a pretty awesome book and an awesome way to end the series.
