Through
the Autumn Air
BY: Kelly Irvin
Publisher: Zondervan
Being alone was not
something Mary Katherine had much experience with since she was the mother of
ten; however with her last child getting married that is just where she found
herself…Alone! She had been a widow for
seven years and talked with her dead husband every day because he was the love
of her life and she never expected to find another man to love. She devoted most of her time and energy
lending a helping hand where needed and writing. She secretly dreamed of opening a bookstore
with her English friend, Dottie, but the church elders thought she should work
in the combination Amish store and move into the dawdy haus.
When Ezekiel’s wife
died he opened the Purple Martin Café to keep his family together and to
provide a living for them. He and Mary
Katherine were school friends so he offered her a job in his restaurant, but it
didn’t fit her dream, nor did she want to explore the feelings she might be
developing for Ezekiel.
Burke McMillan, an
English stranger broke into Mary Katherine’s house in the middle of the
night. When she confronted him, all he
wanted was a sandwich. Being a good
Amish person, she made him a sandwich and let him spend the night in her
barn. Her family and the church elders
were not happy, because they felt he was probably the one responsible for the
robberies in the area.
MS Irvin weaves an
intense story full of twits and turns with the main characters, Mary Katherine,
Burke and Ezekiel, that will keep you turning the pages. As the story develops you will find yourself
becoming a champion for each of the characters as they work to find peace with
the past and courage to face the future. This book is filled with love, second
chances and even a little suspense. If
you are a fan of Amish stories, this is one you will not want to miss.
