Mortified after her semester abroad is cut short, Amelia Christiansen returns to Deep Haven, certain she isn’t brave enough for the adventures she’s dreamed of. The last thing she expects is for the man who broke her heart to cross the Atlantic and beg forgiveness.
Heir to a European hotel dynasty, Roark St. John has trekked from one exotic locale to another, haunted by tragedy and the expectations that accompany his last name. Amelia is the first woman to give him a reason to stop running. He’ll do anything for a second chance—even contend with Amelia’s old flame, who is intent on sending Roark packing.
While one surprise after another leaves Amelia reeling, Roark’s continued presence only highlights the questions pursuing her. Like him, is she running from the life God has called her to? Could finding her new place mean leaving home behind?

I have absolutely loved this series! And The Wonder of You does not disappoint! Warren per her usual style, types up a story you want to dive into and stay immersed in. I only wish I could have read it in one setting, but being the mom of three little kids, and one being a newborn, that was not possible. Still I devoured it as I could over 2 days.
Amelia, Roark and the Christiansen clan, all make for an engrossing tale. With depth of characters & relationships, struggles, insecurities, hurts and yes, pride... they like the rest of us struggle through circumstances, doubts, hopes, dreams and fears. Warren again inserts several biblical lessons that ring true and are done in a touching and heartfelt way. I love that about her novels. And this was definitely one that pulls at your heartstrings!
Seeing Amelia navigate the waters of her fears and feelings, amongst her family and even more in her choice of who is best for her between her two suitors was well worth the read. And you can't help but root for 007! Truly a hero that can win your heart.
As a bonus, you get a secondary story tied in with Max and Grace and of course more from the whole clan! I cannot wait for Your the One That I Want (the series finale, due next Spring)!
