The Waiting
October 12th, 2010. Filed under: Tuesday's Tempting Reads.The Waiting
She was waiting for love–and found it in the most unexpected place.
Jorie King’s life is on hold. She has been waiting for Ben Zook to return to Lancaster County. Waiting for him to settle down and join the church. Waiting to marry him.
But when news arrives that Ben has been killed, Jorie is devastated. She finds unlikely comfort in the friendship of his brother Caleb. Friendship ripens into love, and two broken hearts plan for a life filled with the promise of a fresh beginning–until their worlds are turned upside down.
With her realistic characters whose weaknesses develop into strengths, Suzanne Woods Fisher offers a reading experience that rises above the others. You will love growing in spirit with these complex people living the simple life as The Waiting transports you into a world where things aren’t as simple as they seem.

The closer I came to the end of this book, I just kept thinking, “I can’t believe she’s going to marry the wrong one.”
The book started with grief – too much grief. Then there was a bit of happiness beginning to blossom. And then . . .
This book is going to turn you inside out and upside down before you come to the end. Why is she waiting?
In case you’re wondering, yes, I did need a tissue at the end of the book.
