 Finally!! October 21, 2008
I really enjoyed the last book in this series. However, this series is probably a better read all at once instead of waiting three years from start to finish. Hannah, Martin, and Paul are all very identifiable and believable characters. As with many books, the ending is a little contrived and short. If only the authors wouldn't cut the "good stuff" off too early...

Hannah, an old order Amish young woman, has left her home in disgrace after her fiance, Paul, has refused to hear her side of an unexpected pregnancy. After giving birth and being kicked out of her father's home, she left and looked up an Aunt who had also been banned from their Amish family. Hannah moved in with her aunt, learned to love her immediately, and through her, met Martin, an Englisher with plenty of money and the responsibility of raising his sister's two children. Hannah nursed her aunt through illness and death. Hannah and Martin fell in love, and an older Doctor in the town befriended her, nursed her back to health after her high risk pregnancy, gave her a job and a will to live and follow her dream of becoming a nurse.
An unexpected emergency back home called Hannah back. She was hesitant, but still loving her family and home, she drove the four hours to be with her sister, Sarah, who had become a total mental case and whose father refused any outside intervention. Hannah was basically shunned and ignored by the townspeople because of the way she had left, the Bishop's verdict and the fact she was now living as English. Hannah was determined to get Sarah some modern mental health help and her life becomes entangled with her old fiance Paul, who is now a mental health counselor and the one assigned to oversee the care of Sarah. Hannah feels she really does not fit in anyplace anymore, but is anxious to get back to Martin, the love of her life. Paul has a new girlfriend who figures hugely in the outcome of this love mystery.
Eventually lives collide, old hurts return, new ideas seem wrong, and her best friend Mary has kept her doctor's report a secret since her accident, and defied his counsel by becoming pregnant. Hannah has enough medical knowledge to know a catastrophe is waiting to happen.
She is met with opposition no matter which way she goes. Yet, she sticks to her convictions and gets help for both Sarah and Mary --both at a terrible cost and worry to her and those who love her. The book contains intrigue, mystery, religious conflicts and a very tumultuous love story.
I was completely surprised with the book's ending, and to say anymore would be to spoil this lovely series' ending. I am looking forward to more books by this author.
A Satisfying Ending October 11, 2008
When the Soul Mends is a wonderfully satisfying ending to a captivating series. Cindy Woodsmall has a way of tugging at a reader's heart so that the reader can't stop turning the page. Highly Recommended.
