Author: Molly Jebber
Genre: Amish Christian Historical Release date: Jan 26, 2016
A handsome newcomer with secrets shows a yearning Amish woman a chance at happiness—but their love will need all their courage to keep . . .
Grace Blauch is skilled at midwifery—and crafting quilts that help others pass on messages of enduring family love. But a disfiguring birthmark keeps the young Amish woman from a husband and home of her own—until Mark King arrives from another community. His helpfulness and independent nature earn Grace’s respect. And he finds her outspoken ways and determination to do right irresistibly appealing. Soon Grace is planning a wedding quilt of her very own . . . until her father discovers that Mark’s shunned brother is hiding somewhere in town . . .
Grace can well understand why Mark took such a risk once she hears his wrenching reasons. But she fears even prayer will not convince her father to restore his blessing on their union. She wills herself to face the end of her dreams, but sudden danger and an impossible act of generosity will show her that abiding hope can inspire the most precious of miracles . . .

My Review: I loved"Grace's Forgiveness" by Molly Jebber. It was a heart warming story about forgiveness and love and loyalty. I love the story but still don't understand and don't like the idea of shunning, but then I am not Amish!
In Grace's Forgiveness, Grace doesn't let her birthmark keep her from her midwifery—and crafting Keepsake Pocket Quilts that help others pass on messages of enduring family love. But it does keep her from believing that she will ever have a husband and kinner ( children) of her own.
Mark King is new in town and has a secret.This secret puts others in danger and violates the Ordnung (Amish laws).
Grace and Mark meet and an instant attraction soon develops into love and soon wedding plans but then Mark's secret is discovered and the wedding is off.
I had to keep reading to see how this conflict is solved.
Readers gets to know more about some of the characters that were in the book " Change Of Heart" which was a five star book. "Grace's Forgiveness" would be a excellent book even if you didn't read "Change Of Heart"
"Grace's Forgiveness" is the type of novel to read if you have lost your belief in the power of love and prayer. It will restore your belief.
Forgiveness is something we all need to practice and have. Grace does this really well.
"Grace's Forgiveness" has moments that made this reader think , Oh yes, and then Oh no, and even a couple of times think how can this be happening!
There are even moments of criminal suspense. I know not your normal Amish novel. Yes, this book has it all, love, faith, betrayal, loyalty,truth and criminal activity!
I am giving "Grace's Forgiveness" five stars.
I was given a copy by the publisher and Celebrate Lit for a honest review. The opinions expressed are mine own.
