Waiting for Summer's Return by Kim Vogel Sawyer

5.0

Waiting for Summer’s Return is the first book in both the Heart of the Praire and Ollenberger series’s.

Waiting for Summer’s Return by Kim Vogel Sawyer is an enthralling read. It’s the story of a widow named Summer who accepts an offer from a Mennonite widower named Peter to teach his injured son while he is healing from an accident, in exchange for a place to stay and food to eat. I loved how it showed that even in the darkest of times God is there and that though we don’t know them he has his reasons for things. Peter and Summer’s relationship throughout this story was excellent. I loved the closeness between Peter and Thomas. Grossmutter was my favorite character. Her acceptance and later love for Summer even though Summer was not Mennonite was so wholesome. This was such a great book that I finished it overnight. Mrs. Sawyer is an excellent writer and as a fellow Kansan I loved the setting of this book. I’m looking forward to book two.

This book is a great read for lovers of Christian fiction or just Historical fiction in general.
