About "A Dream of Miracles":
Amish widow Mattie vows never to love again . . . until a suspicious outsider with a shadowy past comes crashing into her fragile world.
Mattie Diener can barely keep it together. A young Amish widow and mother of two young children, she faces the lingering heartbreak of lost love, her son's mysterious illness, and a torrent of accusations that threaten to undo her.
Bo Lambright is a fast-rising social services investigator whose high-society mother won't rest until she finds his Mrs. Right. Despite Bo's worldly success, the raw ache of a shadowy past and a series of unsettling dreams have left him reeling.
When Mattie and Bo cross paths, all signs point to disaster. Yet as they face a crucible of trials and tragedies together, longings begin to stir that seem destined only to end in more heartbreak. Is a miracle possible---not only of healing but of forbidden love? What secrets lie in Bo's dreams? And will Mattie find the courage to face her uncertain future . . . or will she simply run away?
My thoughts:
In this third book of the Amish Wisdom Series, Bo is a modern day Joseph in that he has the gift of discernment and knows that the Lord speaks to him in his dreams. Mattie is a widow who is trying to raise her children alone, she finds herself having to rely on a man who could have her children taken away at any moment. Ruth does an awesome job grabbing me into the story with these two fascinating characters. I found my emotions all over the place with this story, probably because it made me wonder how I would respond in the same predicament. Trusting in God is a very important thematic element in this story. The idea that Bo would have to cut almost all ties with his foster mother and probably have to quit his job kind of disturbed me, probably because I am not Amish so I have a hard time understanding having to give up everything for a culture.
