Yes that's right it's time for another book overview. The last time I did a book overview I was reading The pretty Little liars series and it was during Thanksgiving weekend when we were in South Carolina if I am not mistaking. After that I was desperate to read The Game Of Thrones series because Carson had received the Season 1of the series on DVD and everyone was watching it. Carson was very kind to lend me the first book and yes I was reading I was reading I was suddenly in the mood for another genera and I resumed an Amish book that I'd purchased and was reading in Florida last April.
Book overview
Katie thought her mamm (mom) would never marry again. Not with her reputation in the Amish community as strange. Nor did Katie ever imagine she that she could become the object of Ben Stoll's attention. After all he is the most popular boy around...and she is just Emma Raber's daughter doomed to always be an outsider to the other Amish youth in the community. But when mamm married Jesse Mast and Katie finds herself riding in Ben's buggy surly everything seems possible including perhaps marriage.
Than Katie receives an unexpected invitation to travel to Europe to visit the birthplace of her Amish faith and even more unexpectedly the finances for the trip are handed to her in a plain envelope from an anonymous donor. Katie can't believe how blessed she is. But how will she make sense of her world when it comes crashing down in the aftermath of the worse betrayal she can imagine? Will DA HAH (The Lord) get her through this?
Thoughts
I greatly enjoyed this book. This was the very first Amish book that I had read that wasn't written by Beverly Lewis. My usual author I choose when I want an Amish story. His style is really nice and he writes as if you are speaking their language so sometimes you have to try to figure out what they are saying but it's not that hard too. when I saw this book at the book store I thought it was going to be the typical love story girl meets boy, they court and they get engaged and end up telling their families at the end but when I glanced at the back I was wrong. You get to find out how the Amish travel long distances and if they communicate with the Mennonites or not and yes there is some sibling rivilary involved since Katie inherited a step sister. I would recommend this to any one who is a fan of Christian fiction or Amish fiction.
