About "A Daughter’s Dream":
A young teacher and farmer discover they have much in common, especially when it comes to healing old wounds from the past . . . and finding love in one another.
Rebecca Kinsinger has always dreamed of being a teacher. But when she’s given the opportunity she’s been waiting for at Charm Amish School, she’s dismayed to discover that teaching is hard work—work she’s afraid she’s not very good at.
That is, until Lilly Yoder joins the class. A thirteen-year old who’s just lost her parents, Lilly is in need of someone like Rebecca. For the first time since starting her new job, Rebecca feels a sense of purpose. But when she meets Lilly’s uncle, Jacob, his good looks and sweet, easy-going temperament are hard to ignore. How can she even entertain romantic thoughts of Jacob when his niece is her student?
Suddenly becoming Lily’s sole caregiver, Jacob Yoder never thought he’d be a single parent—or a farmer. Having been living in Florida as a carpenter, Jacob feels more at home wielding a hammer than a backhoe. The only bright spot in his life is Rebecca Kinsinger. As Lily and Rebecca develop a bond, Jacob’s fondness for the pretty teacher grows, too.
But when a fateful accident brings them together, Rebecca and Jacob must choose between duty and desire. Will they follow the path before them? Or set out to find true happiness . . . and true love?
My thoughts:
In this second book of the Charmed Amish Life Series, we get to meet Lucas sister, Rebecca Kinsinger. Dealing with grief and loss 2 years after a mine explosion, Rebecca is also struggling with helping her family and fulfilling her dream of teaching. Although she she doesn't seem like a natural teacher she is determined to persevere in her dream. Jacob is trying to be a substitute father and farmer although he doesn't have much experience at it, but he is also determined to do his best.
Dealing with loss, grief, and change is a prevalent theme in this series. Dreams and a sense of duty also play a huge part. Some good things can come from change or from dreams that don't go according to plan. Some people put work first, others put family first, but the ideal dream is to have a loving partner to share life with.
