When Hope Blossoms by Kim Vogel Sawyer

Amy Knackstedt is a widow with three children hoping to start over in Weaverly, Kansas.  But her new neighbor, Tim Roper, is not pleased to have an Old Order Mennonite family living next to his apple farm.  Tim left the Mennonite faith years before and didn't want any reminders.  Circumstances keep throwing Tim and Amy together and they form a friendship.  He can't help liking her kids.  It seems like there could be something more between them but can Tim get past his old prejudices to let love in?

This was a very nice story.  The Mennonites reminded me of the Amish.  They seem to live a simpler life, but did use electricity, indoor plumbing, cars, etc.   They did not have every convenience like a washer and dryer or a television. It was a sweet romance.  Those are nice every now and again.
