Book: Her Secret Hope
Author: Shelley Shepard Gray
Publisher: Revell
289 pages, paperback.
This is my first time reading a book by this author. "Her Secret Hope" is about a young Amish lady, Lilly, who takes a job working as a maid in an Inn in Florida. She had traveled some distance from home to make a fresh start in life. It is interesting to read about her work, what goes on behind-the-scenes in an Inn, and what it's like in the commercial kitchen. The characters are all interesting and it is enjoyable to read about daily life. Lilly meets a nice young man. The friendship is taken slowly and I appreciate how Lilly is cautious about getting too involved too quickly.
Lilly is a sweet, hardworking girl. She has very supporting friends. It is nice to see good things happen to her.
There is a word of caution that a few readers might want to be aware of. There is a very brief romantic description in the story, that comes off as too strong, in my opinion. I would have enjoyed the story much more if this had been greatly toned down or avoided altogether.
