This was an amazing series that celebrates family, love and faith.

Jenny Bontrager has settled nicely into married life with the exception that she longs for a baby of her own. She loves Matthew's three children as her own; especially since their mother died of cancer several years back leaving them without a mother; but oh to have a child that was through the union of her and Matthew. Hannah, Jenny's sister-in-law is expecting a child and that doesn't make it any easier for Jenny. Jenny is trying her best to be happy and supportive of Hannah.

As the story line progresses Jenny's grandmother has taken ill with pneumonia. Phoebe is so dear to Jenny. Several years earlier Phoebe encouraged Jenny to come stay with her so she could take care of her while Jenny healed from the wounds she had suffered while working as a news reporter overseas. While staying with Phoebe Jenny slowly healed from her injuries. What would Jenny do if she lost her precious grandmother? Will Phoebe survive her life threatening illness of pneumonia or is it God's will to take her home?

While getting a sweater for her grandmother Jenny accidental caused a box in her grandmother's closet to fall to the floor. The contents of the box spilled out and Jenny noticed a letter addressed to her grandmother that her father had written several years ago. Jenny knew it wouldn't be right to read the letter but she couldn't resist and so she read it. She felt betrayed by what her father had written to her grandmother. Will this information that Jenny stumbled upon change her relationship with her grandmother? Will it change her relationship with her husband Matthew if he was privy to what this letter was implying?

I found it hard to put this book down because I just had to know what would happen and how it would end. I laughed, I worried, I cried, and I hoped for the outcome that I wanted. Did the book end the way I wanted it to?

I found the characters in this book to be strong but yet vulnerable too. The Godly message comes through loud and clear. Have faith, have trust, have love, and you will find hope.

Thank you Barbara Cameron for a wonderful Amish fiction read. I loved your other books in this series, A Time to Love, A Time to Heal and now this one A Time for Peace. I can't wait to begin your new series Stitches In Time, with book 1, Her Restless Heart.

Jenny Botranger wasn't always Amish. She was raised by parents who were Englishers, although her father had left the Amish faith years before. Jenny was a news reporter. She was working overseas when she was injured by a car bomb. She returned to the US and went to her grandmother's house in Paradise, PA to recover. Her grandmother Phoebe was Amish. Phoebe lived next to widower Matthew and his 3 children. Jenny knew Matthew from visiting her grandmother when she was younger. She was in love with him then and never stopped being in love with him. Now he was her husband of three years.

Jenny enjoyed her life as an Amish woman, being a wife and a mother to Matthew's children, whom she felt were like her own. She was only unhappy with one thing, not being pregnant, year after year, She was wallowing in self pity until Phoebe became very sick. Jenny no longer had time to think about much but her caring for her grandmother. She realized she was no longer dwelling on being pregnant. Then she found a letter from her father to Phoebe. She suddenly felt betrayed by everyone she loved. Jenny's relationship with her husband and grandmother was strained and it appeared to be affecting her health, let alone her relationships.

This is a story of finding faith and forgiveness in God and family. By the end of the story Jenny began to truly understand what it meant to be Amish. She accepted that it is God's will if something happens or doesn't happen. She found peace with all that had happened to her. Jenny's emotional journey was interesting to read. I liked that story because it showed that we can have so much to be thankful for but we let one thing or another get in the way. We need to be thankful in all things.

While she is retrieving some of her Grandmother's things from Hannah's and Chris's. she finds an old letter where her Grandmother's has informed her father of Matthew. She later finds out that Matthew yielded to her Father's wishes and didn't pursue Jenny. Jenny feels betrayed by both her Grandmother and Matthew.
