About

When the future is threatened by the past, can she trust herself to make the right choice?
Despite growing pains in her 1846 Amish community in Indiana, Naomi Schrock has settled into a comfortable life in her parents' home with her adopted son, Davey. Surrounded by family and friends, she tries not to think about the fact that she's not at the top of any man's list of potential wives. Yet when Cap Stoltzfus moves into the area and befriends Davey, Naomi finds herself caught between the plans she has made for her future and the tantalizing thought that Cap might be part of a life she never dared to hope for.

When a couple shows up claiming to be Davey's true family, Naomi and Cap must unite to make the decision that will determine the boy's future--as well as their own.

My review;

"Naomi's Hope" by author Jan Drexler is just what it says in the title, the story of a young woman's hope for a better life and future. Naomi Schrock is living with her parents and the son she has adopted in the year 1846. She has begun to believe that there will be no man in her future .Cap Stoltzfus has moved in and he and her son Davey become good friends. She begins to allow herself to dream and hope that maybe she might be able to have a future with romance after all. Now some people have come to claim Davey saying that they are his real parents. What is she going to do? Will she have to give Davey up? Does she have enough faith and hope for all three of them? I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishing  Company and all opinions are mine.
