Lost Lake

Review – Beginnings

January 8, 2011 By Michael

Beth Quinn’s craft business in stained glass designs is just taking off. After hiring Andrew, her stepfather’s nephew, she receives a second commission for her artwork and things seem to be looking up for her. When she receives a contract from McCauley Construction for a large stained glass window, her business gets thrown into overdrive. Can she handle the added pressure without help? Will the God she’s recently come to know show her what her future holds?

Andrew Braun struggles against a secret crush on Beth. His Old Order Mennonite parents would never accept her, and his father is already having a hard time with the fact that Andrew would rather work as an artist than on the family farm. When Andrew takes it upon himself to fix something that Beth started, sparks fly. Can this Mennonite boy be more than a friend to Beth?

Sean McCauley met Beth when he delivered the contract for his father’s company, and he hasn’t been able to get her out of his head since. Beth’s independent streak only makes his interest in Beth grow. Is there a chance the prickly business owner might feel the same?

Sawyer has another winner in Beginnings. Lovable characters will touch your heart and make you cheer for them through the book. Sawyer’s use of dialogue and setting weaves the reader into the story and makes it hard to put the book down. Faith plays a role in the life of each character, but is handled deftly with Sawyer’s gentle touch and won’t overwhelm the reader in the least.

This book is a great read and I highly recommend it.
