Threads of Grace

Threads of Grace

By Kelly Long

Grace was forced to marry an older man to pay the debts her father owed to the man.  He was very abusive to her and when he died nine years later she left the area to get away from his brother.  Her life was complicated because she had a young son who was autistic.  She fell and injured her ankle and had to stay with the neighbors who had a handsome son who was attracted to her and was very kind to her son.   Will she ever really love Seth, although she marries him to save herself and her son from her deceased husband’s brother?

I enjoyed this book and would like to read more by this author.  I especially appreciated the understanding shown for an autistic child.  This book also speaks to anyone who has ever been in an abusive relationship – and of the healing that must take place to be able to trust in a healthy relationship.  The message was very inspiring and entertaining.  It was quite a different approach to Amish life than many books I have read and was very positive about the Amish way of life.  I received this book for the purpose of review. The opinions are my own.
