The Gift Book Review by Shelley Shepard Gray

The Schwartz family is happy to be spending Christmas on their new farm in Hart County. But when Susanna Schwartz hears gunshots that causes her buggy to overturn, and then her little sister falls through a wooden bridge into the icy creek, it becomes clear from these dangerous “accidents” that someone wants them gone.

Neil Vance has been heartbroken ever since his parents lost their family farm. He knows it’s not the Schwartz family’s fault, but he can’t help but be resentful. Until he meets Susanna. 
She is kind-hearted and bold, and Neil can’t stop thinking about her pretty green eyes.

Neil thinks the accidents are just that, but Susanna’s father is convinced the Vance family is responsible. Susanna refuses to believe Neil would do anything to harm her. She’s fallen in love with him and knows he is a good man. But her family is ready to pack up and move, and time is running out to uncover the truth before someone gets hurt…or worse.

My Thoughts:

I have been patiently waiting for the 3^rd book in the Amish of Hart County series and to get back to Hart County, Kentucky. The story is a standalone story if you haven’t read any other of the books in the series.  

I love how Shelley Shepard Gray develops all the characters in her books and The Gift is does just that. She makes you feel like you know the characters like they are your neighbors. I had so many favorite characters in this story that I couldn’t tell you who my favorite is. The main characters have a lot of depth and even the smaller characters have a unique personality. The author has an element of faith weaved into the story.

I never like to give away any spoilers so you are going to have to read it for yourself. The plot is interesting. It has been a page turner. It was intriguing trying to figure out who was causing the accidents. I thought I knew who it was. The ending left me feeling lost as it felt like it left me hanging.

Another wonderful story and I loved the story and can’t wait till the next book comes out in the series.
