**The year is 1777. America is in turmoil. And Amish life is far different than today.**
Pennsylvania in the late 18th century, once called William Penn's Woods, was an assortment of different faiths living together for the first time in American history. Included in this tapestry was a small and struggling population called Amish.
Surrounding this peaceful people were unavoidable threats: both Patriots and the British were pillaging land and goods for the sake of the war, young Amishmen were leaving the faith to take up arms and defend freedom. A simple walk in the untamed forests could result in death, if not from bullet or arrow, then from an encounter with a wild animal.
Amid this time of tumult, Adam Wyse is fighting a personal battle. To possibly join the war efforts and leave his faith, which would mean walking away from the only woman he's ever loved: Lena Yoder. But for that love he's made a promise that may keep them apart permanently.
When Adam withdraws from Lena, she's forced to turn to his brother, Isaac, for support. Must Lena deny her heart's desire to save Adam's soul? And will life in this feral and primitive New World be more than this peace-keeping people can withstand?
?There is a beautiful love story that unfolds within the pages . . . I was vested in the lives of these characters from the first page.? ?BETH WISEMAN, best-selling author of *The Wonder of Your Love* and *Plain Proposal*

I found Arms of Love hard to get into and didn't really 'get' the story so didn't enjoy it at all I found the first half quite disjointed - several characters especially the men seem to suffer from having multiple personalities - cruel one minute and kind the next with no explanation Sometimes this technique is used to introduce hidden secrets; here I found it to be confusing and distracting rather than mysterious and exciting\\r\\n\\r\\nAs well as the usual discussion questions at the end of the book Arms of Love also includes a four week Bible study with a deeper focus on some of the themes of the story I just suspect the author focused too much on creating a story that people could learn from and not enough on creating a story people would enjoy reading\\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Thomas Nelson and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review\\r\\n
