Summary from FSB Media: New love and even more questions enter Lizzie Glick's life in When Strawberries Bloom, the second novel in this series written by an Amish writer and based on true life experiences.
Lizzie's dream of teaching school has finally come true. She loves the brand-new school building, the sound of the children singing, and the independence she has in the classroom. Even the occasionally unruly boys can't ruin the excitement she feels each morning when she starts the school day.
But at home things are in turmoil again. What do Dat's sudden health problems mean for the future of their farm? And what about Lizzie's future? Emma and Mandy are so certain that Joshua and John are their perfect matches, but Lizzie doesn't know what to think about Stephen and how he might fit into her life.
What will Lizzie decide? Will she continue to teach school? Or will she give up that dream so that her wish for marriage and a family can come true?
Stephen says he loves her, but Lizzie isn't sure he really understands her. Can she hope to find anyone within her Amish community who loves her bright mind, her ever-active imagination, her competitive spirit and her stormy humor?
This is the second book in the Lizzie Searches for Love series. Lizzie becomes a school teacher like she has always wanted. Her sister Emma becomes a member of the church and gets married. This has Lizzie questioning love, life and faith. Since Lizzie is a little older in this book than in Running Around (And Such), this book focuses on becoming a young woman. She questions God's will, the meaning of scriptures and the true meaning of love.
I love the attention to details that Ms. Byler provided in this book. She described the wedding and Amish customs with precise details. I think I have learned more about the Amish community by reading her books. I am looking forward to reading the third and final book in this series called Big Decisions which is scheduled to be released in March 2011.
A special thanks to FSB Media for allowing me to review this book before it is released!
