Publisher's summary

After years of hardship, Jenny's life appears perfect. So why does something seem to be missing?

Jenny Bontrager is finally at a place of love and belonging with her husband, Matthew, and his children. Life seems golden with both her family and career as a writer. But everything Jenny now believes in is thrown into question with the discovery of a long-lost letter from her father. Her sense of peace and contentment destroyed by betrayal, Jenny struggles with her renewed faith - and the love of everyone around her.

This is a very good book that is enjoyable to read and teaches life’s lessons as well.

This book is a wonderful book that teaches the value of love and forgiveness. The storyline is great as well. In this story you learn how love can bridge the gap and reach beyond circumstances to bring about healing in life circumstances. A valuable lesson portrayed in this book is that forgiveness is worth it for it is not worth holding on to anger and robbing you of precious time with family members. One of my favorite things about this book is how Jenny was blessed after letting her hurt go.

Suspense

SO much & such lengthy suspense was a little difficult for me. However, that’s how life often is!

Great read

Absolutely Remarkable storyline, you definitely do not want to put this down for anything. Plot twists and curves at every possible chance, but hang on, the suspense only gets better and better the more you immersed yourself in it. IT'S FANTASTIC. The Narrator is also Remarkable, I love the diversity Kate has with each character. Great novel.

Repitive

I have enjoyed this series for light entertainment but became annoyed with all the characters always answering that they’re “fine” and refusing to reveal their true problems to each other.

Outstanding!!!

"A Time for Peace" is an excellent story that continues to tell the loving, tender, and real-life events of an amazing, yet quite normal family. The story reveals how things from long ago can affect our lives now...regardless of whether we're Amish or not --- while reflecting on whether certain Amish principals are believed and applied. I have a great respect for the Amish people and how they live "the simple life". I often wonder what life would be like in our country today if every one of us just took steps towards living " the simple life" ourselves. I highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys feeling encouraged and joyful about living a GOD-loving life. Additionally, the narration was once again excellently done. My applause to Barbara Cameron and Kate Udall

Good story

I enjoyed the story but there were several mistakes in the characters. It was really bad near the end of the book and made it difficult to follow the storyline. Not sure if it was the script or the narrator.
