MY THOUGHTS

I enjoyed Daybreak (reviewed here), the first book in this series about a multi-generational Amish family, and Ray of Light is another charmiing tale. Both Roman and Amanda are thoroughly endearing and of course, Regina captivates everyone she meets, even if only through the pages of a book! Although Roman and Amanda are the focus, the rest of the family members' stories weaves throughout the book as each of them continue to deal with the long-hidden family secrets that are coming to light. While enough is explained that readers who missed the first book will grasp what is happening, this series is enjoyable enough that you won't want to miss a single book! I'm eagerly anticipating the final book, Eventide, coming in September!
