In this delightfully written novel, Jennifer Burns is making
a huge life decision. Feeling fed up with life in modern society, she decided
to pursue her childhood dream: to become Amish. To the shock of her family and
friends, Jennifer seems right at home in the Amish community, despite making
several errors. When Jennifer is forced to keep a secret about one of the
pillars of the community, she does not know how to remain true to her faith,
and keep all of her new found friends. Will Jennifer be able to continue this
difficult lifestyle, or will she have to abandon her lifelong dream?
I loved this book. I sometimes forget how much I like
Beverly Lewis’s writing, but she never ceases to impress me! I think this book
may have ranked among the best that Beverly has written. Despite reading some
reviews that said that it was very predictable, I was actually caught off guard
twice at the end. I loved this idea of someone wanting to become Amish, since I
have always thought it would be a great experience (usually when I am having
technology problems ;) I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys
Beverly’s books, as well as anyone who enjoys Amish fiction in general. It is
perfect as a stand-alone novel, and as part of a series.
I received this book from Bethany House Publishers in
exchange for this review.
