Bygones by Kim Vogel Sawyer


Widow Marie Koeppler and her grown daughter Beth reluctantly return to the Mennonite community Marie abandoned twenty-three years ago. Soon after their arrival in Sommerfeld, a series of mysterious thefts raises the community's suspicions against the "outsiders." Can Marie prove their innocence, or will she be forced to flee once more?
Henry Braun thought he'd gotten his love for Marie out of his system, but soon begins to wonder if she's stolen more than his heart. When it's all said and done, can Henry and Marie let bygones be bygones, or has their love been doomed from the start?

Well, to tell you the truth it has been some time since I’ve read this book. It always amazes me how much I can remember from a book I read, probably, last year. But there are reasons why I’m bringing you this review so long after I actually read it. Bygones by Kim Vogel Sawyer is a touching story about truth and the real meaning of love. I have to say that at some points in the story I can remember being a little confused as to what was going on. But let me assure you that everything will make sense in the end. I purchased this book blindfolded, not knowing what to expect from it. But as I read it—which by the way took only a few days—I realized I had made a good choice. A few months ago a friend of mine picked up the second and third book at a thrift store for me, which was a complete blessing. I will be sure to get those reviews to you ASAP so you can decide whether or not you have an interest in reading these beautiful, heartwarming tales.
Mrs. Sawyer gets two thumbs up!

Have a wonderful day,
