Beacon of Light: An Amish Romance (The Long Road Home)
by
Well written story. The story switches between the life that May has found back in the Amish community that her and her brother knew well before their parents' death and the life that Oba is struggling with in thinking he is not good enough to be loved and longs to know what happened to May.
After being sent to live with their aunt and uncle following their parents' death, this brother and sister have lived through things that no one understands and truly wants to believe. May finds herself shuffled around until she meets Clara, an Amish woman that truly does not care if the community agrees with her or not. Clara helps May and her child, whom May is certain will never be accepted, and expects nothing in return.
When May meets Andy, she does not think that she could ever love anyone like she did Clinton. Will she discover another love can happen and can lead her to the life of happiness and a family that she longs for? Will Andy not be able to get beyond her past? May soon discovers a side to Clara that she never expected, jealousy.
Oba discovers a life with a drifter and finds that he allows himself to follow the older man to the untamed wilderness of Canada, but life changes again when he is suddenly in a plane that is going down. Will he survive the crash, and will he ever see May again?
Linda Byler has written several books about the Amish and this book is a standalone read in a trilogy, although, I feel that a reader should read the first book before reading this one to learn the history or May and Oba. I will be looking for the third book of this series and hope that it finalizes the story and allows May and Oba the endings that they deserve.

I like the series and trilogies that can be read separately!
