Rating 4 stars (out of 5)
Levi's Will was another book I had ordered and was very anxious to read. I very much enjoyed his series, The Daughters of Caleb Bender, and was excited that this book contained a character or two from that series. It may have not been the best book to read after The Choice as they are both pretty emotional and sad at times, but it was beautiful and oh so memorable. This book touched me and really made me think hard on forgiveness of others at a time I really needed it. While I would probably not read it again (it's more of a memoir and I don't find those good repeat reads), I am so glad that I did read it.
Loosely based on the author's father, this story follows the life of an Amish boy who runs away from his community leaving his family and pregnant girlfriend behind. He joins the military, gets married, makes a bunch of mistakes and learns to forgive, be forgiven and finds the Lord. I cried in this one...real tears...that hasn't' happened since Where the Red Fern Grows in 8th grade. Emotional, real, beautiful.
