From the Back Cover Journey Down a Quiet Lane in Lancaster County Where Love and Heartache and Friendship and Healing MeetWhen Joel and Shani Beck arrive at their new home, they're looking for peace. Shani is thrilled to have Joel back from Iraq, but he needs time to heal, and the quiet of Lancaster seems just the place. They can't imagine any trouble with their Amish neighbors, the Lehmans, but things get off to a rocky start when their son is involved in an accident that injures one of the Lehman boys. Eve Lehman has run her brother's household ever since the death of his wife, but Tim's a stern patriarch. Despite his protests, she's drawn to the new neighbor, Shani, and the two begin to form a strong friendship forged on faith and family. Things seem like they've quieted down until Joel's single and handsome army friend Charlie catches Eve's attention--a man unlike any Eve has ever met. Suddenly life for both families becomes more complicated than any of them could have ever imagined."Shani and Joel's struggling marriage due to PSTD is a very realistic plight faced by soldiers returning home from war. Readers will be sympathetic to the tension Eve feels between doing what others expect and doing what is true to her heart....This heartfelt novel is a fantastic beginning to Gould's Neighbors of Lancaster County series." -RT Book Reviews

I love the whole story of Englishers and Amish being neighbors and all the struggles they have to endure.Gould has stepped outside the box on this one, it is not your everyday Amish fiction, you are sure to find this series a fresh voice in the Amish genre.I did not like the character Tim but I really enjoyed Eve and Charlie's story, they were so easy to connect with. I learned to love Tim towards the end.I enjoyed the kids in the story, about how they took up with each other so much.I gave this book 5 stars two times. I highly recommend it. This is a book Binge book, you can not put it down.I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.

Joel, Shani and their son moved to Lancaster County seeking peace and healing after Joel was released from the military. He was seriously injured and traumatized while serving his country in Iraq. Their new neighbors are Amish, and as new neighbors the Becks and the Lehmans soon discover more differences than similarities in their lifestyles. A widower, Tim Lehman is the patriarch of his family, and rules with an iron hand. His sister, Eve, has looked after his children since their mother died, but soon Shani and Eve develop a friendship despite their cultural differences, and in spite of Tim's warnings against it.Diversity is the theme that is woven throughout this story of neighbors whose lifestyles are worlds apart. Realistic in detail, Leslie Gould has attempted to broach the distance between two very different ways of life through friendships regardless of differences, acceptance in spite of intolerance. The children are friends at once, interacting and begging for more time to spend together, accepting one another unconditionally.The adults throughout this book discover that blending their lives is a bit more difficult, particularly when Eve meets Joel's best friend, Charlie. Since Charlie's family background is Mennonite, he has a firm understanding of Amish practices. Regardless of Tim's loud protests, Eve and Charlie's attraction is sweet and poignant and difficult to ignore. Throughout this book Tim is a bitter, unfriendly man, but Amish compassion calls him to rise to the occasion more than once, softening my heart toward him.Through a series of trials, tragedies and differences of opinion and beliefs the author has meticulously interwoven the lives of the Becks and the Lehmans into an unforgettable story of accepting others despite their differences. I loved this story of vastly different characters and their discoveries about life, faith and acceptance. This is a book that will remain on my shelf for a second read!Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

I was glad to be able to check out another book by this author, as I had previously read and reviewed the book Becoming Bea.Apparently this book is the first in a new series called Neighbors of Lancaster County. I believe that Becoming Bea was also based in Lancaster County, and now I kind of want to go back and see if there are any similar characters in both books. None stuck out to me as names I remembered, but it would be interesting to go back and check.As was the case when reading Becoming Bea, one of my favorite aspects of these Amish fiction books is the use of phrases that us “Englishers” don’t normally use. Sometimes an actual definition is given; other times you can easily determine what it means in context.Now, you can read the description of the book, so I don’t need to break it down for you in detail, but here is the basic premise: The Beck’s (Joel, Shani, and their son Zane) moved to Lancaster County to Shani’s grandfather’s farm. Shani is pregnant and looking for some peace and quiet and healing time, as her husband Joel was injured in Iraq and is also suffering from PTSD. They move in next door to an Amish family, the Lehman’s. The patriarch is Tim, whose wife Abra recently passed away, leaving him with 5 children. Abra’s best friend, who is also Tim’s sister Eve has taken on the duties of caring for the children. The children and the women of the families quickly form friendships but both of the men are not so comfortable with the blending. Also, along comes Charlie, Joel’s military buddy and a budding but basically forbidden romance starts to bloom between Charlie and Eve.Through the course of events, the families have to learn how to co-exist despite their difference. And Eve has to figure out what to do. She had previously vowed never to marry an Amish man. However, the bishop Gideon is pursuing her, though her feelings are for Charlie.Though this is only the second of Leslie Gould’s books that I have read, but I would definitely love to read more and hope to check out the following books in this series when they are available.Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House/Baker Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review.
