About the book:
Thankful, Book Two in the Return to Sugarcreek series
New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray captures the beauty, devotion, and warmth of Amish life in this engaging tale of family, commitment, trust, and love set in the beloved community of Sugarcreek.
Christina Kempf has always known that God chose Aden Reese to be her husband. As children, he was there to save her when she fell through the ice, and he's been by her side ever since. After his parents died in a car accident ten years ago, the Kempfs raised Aden as one of their own, and everyone sees Aden and Christina as brother and sister. But Christina has never given up hope that Aden will one day ask her to be his wife.
Aden always planned to court Christina. But losing his mother and father changed everything---except his love for her. Her parents generously welcomed him into their home and treated him like a son. He can't betray their kindness by admitting his feelings for the girl who is like a sister . . . yet so much more.
Pressured by her parents to court, Christina begins to accept the attentions of Sugarcreek's young men, and now, Aden must make a choice. Will he stand by and watch the love of his life slip away? Or will he risk losing the love and trust of the family he holds dear to tell Christina how he truly feels?

My Review:
I enjoy reading Shelley Shepard Gray's novels as she has a style of writing that is so easy to get into and it feels as if I come to be a part of the story, and her latest novel, "Thankful," is no exception. Christina and Aden started out as neighbors and friends; friends whom had a crush on each other. When Aden's parents were killed in an accident, Christina's parents took in Aden and raised him as a son; however Christina and Aden, unbeknownst to each other, do not think of each other as a sibling, they are in love with each other. This book is a sweet love story that touches on many relationships of various types and the resounding theme throughout the book is being thankful. This is a quick read and one that Amish fans and fiction fans in general will enjoy.
