Now available on paperback from Waterbrook is the Mennonite drama Ours for a Season by Kim Vogel Sawyer
Based on the cover art alone, my first impression was that the Ours for a Season would be a standard Mennonite romance novel, where a young woman falls in love with an outsider. Well, that's not the case with this story, as the main characters, Anthony and Marty Hirschler, are already married! However, there marriage isn't exactly perfect, as the couple has had their share of problems. They were hoping to start a family after marring, but were told by the doctors that they can't have children. To hide his emotional pain, Anthony spends most of his time on his construction business. Marty is very depressed and slowly loses her faith.
Their lives take an unexpected twist when they receive a letter from an old friend, Brooke Spalding, who wants Anthony to be the head contractor of a big construction project, which involves restoring a Kansas ghost town. Of course, they jump on this opportunity, but later receive several shocking revelations that will challenge their faith and marriage.

Final Thoughts
Overall, I enjoyed reading Ours for a Season. Kim Vogel Sawyer has a wonderful way of creating detailed descriptions that draws me into the story from the very first paragraph. The characters are well-written with everyday flaws, which, for me, it makes them feel more realistic and relatable. The story had many twists and turns that I didn't see coming!
