This is the 2nd book in the Heart of the Prairie
series; it picks up 10 years after the first book, Waiting for Summer's
Return. Thomas Ollenburger is now 20 years old, and has just graduated
from college in Boston, where he has been living with his step
grandmother Nadine.
He returns for the summer to Kansas,
not far from the Mennonite community where he grew up, where his father
Peter and his family are now living. He has big dreams, and he is torn
between staying in Kansas and starting his own business, which is what
Peter hopes he will do, or returning to Boston where there are more job
opportunities using his education.I liked the twists in this book towards the end, it made for an ending that was not predictable from the start of the book.
