About the Book
Ex-con Seth Zimmerman has spent the last three years making amends by helping the vulnerable in his former Amish community. Lately, this mission includes calling on Tabitha Yoder, whose divorce from her abusive husband has isolated her from the community. Even though she never comes out of her house to talk to him, Seth knows she watches him from the window while he chops wood, clears her driveway, and drops off food.
An uneasy friendship is just starting to take hold between them when small gifts begin to appear at Tabitha’s home–gifts that can only be from her ex-husband. Seth might be Tabitha’s only hope at maintaining her hard-won freedom from the man whose violent outbursts had almost cost her life. But coming to her rescue might mean he ends up behind bars once again.
Get swept up in this emotional story of two outcasts who may be each other’s only hope for happiness and redemption from New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray.

Review of Unforgiven
I love reading a book cover to cover. When reading the authors notes for this book, (this time I read them ahead of time), she talked about how Seth’s story was a continuation of The Rumors in Ross County series. Because I loved this book so much, I am now reading that series as well. I originally picked up this book because of the back cover blurb but I could not put it down because I entered into the lives of Tabitha, Seth, Melonie, and Lott. I could see the characters points of view from both the parents of the young adults as well as the young adults feelings. The author did a great job of letting us see into the hearts of all generations and the tough decisions that had to be made, whether or not their hearts agreed. I absolutely loved Seths initial conversation with Lott. Oh to be able to speak truth in love that way. Not my gift but one I admire. The author did a great job of showing the vulnerability of the characters while also showcasing their strengths. Excellent book. I hope this is not a standalone but that there will be more to this community and these families.
I was given this book as a complimentary copy but was not required to write a review.
