In the final chapter of the Big Sky series, Marianna Sommer is returning to the Amish community of Indiana with her fiancé, Aaron Zook, a marriage she has been dreaming about since she was a kid. She is returning to Indiana to attend her brother‘s, Levi, wedding. Her brother had briefly left their Amish ways for the ways of the modern world, but has come back to the Amish community to marry Naomi, who is expecting a baby boy. Shocking as this may be, it is not uncommon for an Amish couple to get married because of an upcoming birth. Naomi’s parents feel different and don’t want them to get married until after the child is born. Marianna plans to stay for the birth of the child and the upcoming marriage.

    Meanwhile, an upcoming singer, Ben, is still grieving over the brief romantic relationship he had with an Amish woman, Marianna, in Indiana. He is also still dealing with his friend’s accidental death, which almost resulted in Ben going to prison for murder. As his music career booms, another accidental situation occurs that may send him behind bars.

    Amish communities have their secrets, and one secret will make Marianna question her wedding to Aaron Zook, while her mind and heart is with the singer Ben.

    Beyond Hope’s Valley is a fast-paced, emotional conclusion to the Big Sky series that stared with Beside Still Water and Along Wooded Paths. Author Tricia Goyer has crafted characters that you will care for and a sweet romantic plot that all readers will enjoy. I could easily tell that the author cares deeply for her characters, which shows on each page. I read the book in one sitting. I meant to read only a few chapters before going to bed one night, but I ended up reading the whole book as I couldn’t put it down. Beyond Hope’s Valley is a great read and is now one of my favorite books.

*I would like to thank the Litfuse and BH Publishing for sending me a copy to review.
