- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I did not read the first book in this series. Perhaps if I had, I would have found this novel more enjoyable. Regardless, I thought the story was shallow and the plot lacking. The outcome was predictable and the characters, stereotypical. The narrator in this audio version was just plain annoying, especially with her imitation of children's voices. Not much to commend in this novel.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sawyer reminds the reader of the pain of others. Sometimes knowing the background and family of another can help understand their reactions. Family has a strong tie that calls these characters to do what they do. But some with love-less families choose to move beyond what they know to find why others are different. Her characters move through this process and grow to love and accept love.
Expectations are not what they seem and dreams are not always what they want.
Enjoyed the twists and turns of the book, that went beyond what was expected. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Although this story revolves around the Mennonites in early America, the story line could well be adapted into any country regardless of religious beliefs, in my opinion. Family sends eldest son to College//University in a big city where he is exposed to a whole new way of life. With romantic ties in both his hometown and the big smoke we are left wondering the outcome until the the last page or so. My second Kim Vogel Sawyer book of this genre and I will go back for more.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A sequel to Waiting for Summer's Return, Where the Heart Leads gives us a look into the Ollenberger's lives once again. Written in that same magnificent way as the first, Ms. Sawyer's book had me quickly captured til the end!!! Young Thomas Ollenberger fancies himself to be a journalist, so, with his parents' blessings, he sets off to the city of Boston where his stepmother's family lives to attend school. He leaves behind his parents, his friends, and a young woman he's befriended. He doesn't want to hurt her, but while in the big city, he meets someone who quickly catches his heart and it quickly tests his faith and his background, leaving him torn between staying in Boston or returning to his Mennonite family back home in Kansas. The problem is, this beautiful city girl isn't allowed to know God. Can Thomas set aside that one fact, and fall for her anyhow, or will his friendship from home with a woman who shares his beliefs be more??Find out in a novel that will make you smile, and possibly cry...it did me!!! Many high praises have been written about this book and I have to agree with all of them!! This faith inspiring book is a super great read! Ms. Sawyer is the Karen Kingsbury of Mennonite/Amish fiction!!!!
