JCMorrowsAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5I LOVE finding new authors!!!October 10, 2014JCMorrowsAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Forgiven, Keepers of the Promise Series #1.What a WONDERFUL story! A page in and I was HOOKED! WOW!
Thank goodness we have every book of her Pleasant Valley novels! I wont have to hunt them down to read them all. Of course we dont have every book of hers but Im going to be on the lookout!
And so should you!
Marta Perry is a masterful storyteller and she will pull you right in!
Wonderful story! Intriguing history! Excellent characters!
Just an all-around GREAT book!
Now Im chomping at the bit to get my hands on the next one! LOL!
Susan Meissner nailed it when she said Skillfully weaves the past and the present in a heart-stirring tale.
DO NOT miss this book and do not miss any of her others! As delightful an author as Marta Perry is, I can not imagine even one of her books not being just as fantastic a read!
And its not just the writing I love. The very idea of someone storing up memories from the familys past to share well, not enough of us do that. And even among the ones who do, not enough of them get around to bringing the rest of the family in on their history.
And making the focus of the story an Amish family perfect! Who better to show holding on to their precious family history!
READ IT! -
KavRCanadaGender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Perry captures real life with heart and faithSeptember 19, 2019KavRCanadaGender: femaleThis review was written for The Forgiven, Keepers of the Promise Series #1.I have absolutely no idea how I missed the entire Keepers of the Promise series but I plan to make up the slack starting with this first book. And my heart did loop-de-loops when I discovered this is a dual timeline story!
Marta Perry has created an emotionally charged present day love story centered around change and second chances. Both are hard to accomplish -- and next to impossible without forgiveness.
I could feel the panic welling up in me as Rebecca faces the challenges of widowhood and the changes it brings. She does a lot of growing on this journey -- discovering not only her strengths, but that it's okay to have weaknesses too. Love that she isn't perfect -- she can be prickly and snappish, especially when Matthew's in the picture. :-) He's endearingly patient with Rebecca and her children. But he comes home with his own set of issues that make him feel less worthy. Love the clashing of wills and sweet pull of romance!
The historical timeline romance is just as compelling but in a very different way. World War II is the ominous backdrop for Anna and Jacob's love story. The details of how the war affected the Amish made for a riveting -- and emotional -- read. And I love how Anna's faith not only carries her through wartime hardships but provides insight and inspiration to Rebecca generations later.
Complex and poignant -- Perry captures real life with heart and faith. Can't wait to continue with this series. -
LynnGrierAge: Over 65Gender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent ReadOctober 7, 2014LynnGrierAge: Over 65Gender: FemaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Forgiven, Keepers of the Promise Series #1.The Forgiven by Marta Perry will keep you going as it did me from the beginning to the end. Rebecca Fisher sorting out family treasures comes across a diary of Anna Esch written in 1941. While struggling to keep her home going after her husband passes she is drawn into reading Anna's diary. You will want to read this book to see both generations come together nicely to bring strength and courage to grow and change.
This is the first book of a series "Keepers of the Promise". Will "The Forgiven" be a keeper on your shelf! You bet! and will want more. I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to continue on with the series. Awesome read and truly a 5 star.
This ARC copy was given to me for my honest opinion. Thank you Marta for the chance to read your book. You rock!
