An Unforgivable Secret (J. E. B. Spredemann) Book Review

2017 Reading Challenge

18. An Unforgivable Secret by J. E. B. Spredemann

Synopsis:

Hannah has a good life. A beautiful home, a loving husband, and a wonderful Amish community are only a few of her daily blessings. But she has carried a heavy burden for years: a secret that no one must know. When tragedy strikes, her secret threatens to be revealed, jeopardizing everything she’s ever loved. Will Hannah be able to face her greatest fear and find God's purpose for her life?

My Review:

Hannah, Christian, and Samuel have all grown up together and throughout the story, you get glimpses of that through the years. Just like anybody else, the Amish have their secrets, but the consequences are even worse if those secrets are found out about. It is incredible in how the choices we make can impact us (and those around us in some cases) for the rest of our lives. The author did a great job of keeping it real and authentic. This is a story about love, forgiveness, and healing. It deals with heartbreak and tragedy, which turns into triumph. It reminded me of a saying that goes like this: when one door opens, another one opens. God blesses us in mysterious ways and sometimes we have to go through times of sadness and tragedy to receive a gift or blessing that's even better, that is more special and rewarding.

This was really hard to write without giving away spoilers. It deals with issues that can be hard to write about or even think about.

I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Happy Reading and Keep on Writing!
