The Scent of Cherry Blossoms

March 1, 2012

Annie Martin is an Old Order Mennonite (electricity and telephones are allowed in her sect). Aden Zook is an Old Order Amish. Together, they run Zook's Diner, while Aden also looks after his wheelchair-bound twin brother, Roman. Annie knows that Aden is kind, but she also knows he's so much more--he's a talented artist. The two share romantic feelings that they must fight. A life together just might mean the loss of the business and of family. VERDICT This bittersweet and heartwarming story by the popular author of the "Ada's House" and "Sisters of the Quilt" Amish series is sure to appeal to fans of Wanda E. Brunstetter and Richard Paul Evans.
