Beth Quinn is confident that Sommerfield is the perfect place for her stained-glass art studio—she’s just not so sure that the tight-knit Mennonite community will ever fully accept her, even if her mother has rejoined the church. Can she ever belong in this conservative place? Can she open up enough to trust others with her vision and dreams after the betrayal of her ex-boyfriend? Andrew Braun is smitten with Beth, and there’s no denying it. She’s a breath of fresh air, and her studio has allowed him to dream again. Maybe, if they can make the studio work, his father will finally admit a man can make a living from art just as well as from farming. And when McCauley Church Construction approaches Beth about making windows for their churches, all those dreams seem to be within reach. Sean McCauley knew the moment he saw a Quinn suncatcher that this new artist would revolutionize stained glass. And when he meets the enchanting Beth, he’s more determined than ever to work with the young artist. But is her small studio and one employee really enough to meet the demands of McCauley’s needs? Beginnings is the second installment in the Sommerfield Trilogy, continuing the story of the Quinn women who return to the mother’s conservative Mennonite roots. Kim Vogel Sawyer delves deep into the mind of a once-burned, twice-shy young woman who is unsure of her place in the world, spicing things up with two different romantic interests. I confess I wasn’t sure for most of the book where in the world that romantic element was going to go. The focus was more on Beth’s work and feelings of loneliness than her attraction to either Andrew or Sean. Beginnings lives up to its title, crafting a story of a young woman starting out in the world. It’s a lovely and touching tale that Sawyer fans won’t want to miss. Though it stands on its own well enough, you may want to pick up the first book in the series to get the full background on why Beth’s so unwilling to trust a man. I definitely recommend this novel for anyone in the mood for a solid women’s fiction with a young, vibrant heroine. Publisher: Barbour
