The Promise Box by Tricia Goyer

 About The Promise Box:With her heart - and her loyalty - on the line, can she let true love in her life?
Every year, young Amish men descend on the cozy little town of West Kootenai, Montana, arriving in the spring to live there for six months and receive 'resident' status for the hunting season in the fall. They arrive as bachelors, but go home with brides! Lydia Wyse, a book editor from Seattle who grew up Amish, returns to the small community of West Kootenai, Montana to give comfort to her father after her mother's death.
She is drawn back to the familiar Amish ways after finding her mother's most precious possession, a Promise Box of prayers and scripture. What her publisher sees, though, is an opportunity for a sensational 'tell-all' book about the Amish. Lydia soon finds herself falling in love with Amish bachelor Gideon Hooley. She wants nothing more than to forget her past and look forward to a future as an Amish bride.
Will the pain of her childhood-and her potential betrayal of her community-keep her from committing her whole heart?

My Review
The Promise Box is the second book in The Seven Brides for Seven Bachelor series by Tricia Goyer.After the death of her mother, Lydia Wyse travels back to West Kootenai, Montana, to help her father. Lydia is a book editor who was raised Amish. Her mother has left a Promise Box of Prayers and Lydia starts to feel the Amish ways, again. This happens to be the time of year for young Amish men to come looking for brides. One of these bachelors is Gideon Hooley and Lydia is falling for him. Lydia must decide if God wants her to become an Amish bride or return to life in her new home. Should Lydia forget everything she has worked for and go back to her home leaving her Amish roots? She could just as easily stay and return to her roots. I give this book a 5/5. It is a story of family, growing up, faith and loyalty. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are 100% my own.
