The Reconciliation is the third book in a series set in Southern Maryland by Susan Lantz Simpson (The Promise and The Mending). Becky Yoder was about to be baptized when she bolted and disappeared to New York City. Becky used to a flirtatious and fun young woman. Her experiences in the big city have changed her and she comes home a different woman. Becky feels she is unworthy of happiness and a good man after the trouble she caused her family. Atlee notices the change in Becky along with how she spends her time alone. He befriends her to help her and finds himself falling in love. Atlee needs to work past Becky's defenses to show her that she merits grace and being loved. The Reconciliation is a sweet, heartwarming Amish romance. It shows people that we can be forgiven for our mistakes. We need to learn from our missteps and move forward. While The Reconciliation can be read as a standalone, I found it helpful to have read the other books in this series. I enjoyed the casual writing style which made The Reconciliation easy to read. There is kissing and hugging only in the story which makes it a nice, clean romance. The Reconciliation is a heartfelt Amish love story with good Christian morals and valuable life lessons.
