Coffee Time Romance & More Award - 5 cups "The struggles Rachel goes through make this story well worth reading, allowing the reader to connect with Rachel and others, as if it was their own life. Definitely a to-buy book."

After her mother’s untimely death, a twenty-year-old Amish woman has a difficult decision to make: Choose to break from the Plain community and her boyfriend and live in the English world permanently...or join the Amish church.

Rachel Hershberger wants to get away from her Amish home in Fields Corner, Ohio. For a year she’s been trying to fill her mother’s shoes by taking care of her father and siblings. She quit her job at the bakery so she would have more time to clean and cook at home. Before her mother died, Rachel was positive she wanted to marry Samuel Weaver, but now she can’t think about wedding plans. She blames her father for her mother’s death. If they had installed a phone in their barn or a shanty, her mother might have received medical help in time to save her life. Her mother’s death has made Rachel question if she should be baptized and join the church. She wonders if non-Amish women live longer and have less stress. Maybe her forty-four-year old mother would still be alive had she left the Amish lifestyle like her sister Carrie did. When her Aunt Carrie invites her to go to the beach, Rachel decides the time away will help her to decide whether to join the Amish church or to live in the English world. She is conflicted because she loves Samuel and her family. Instead of a relaxing time away, disturbing events happen while Rachel’s in Florida. A photographer snaps troublesome pictures of Rachel because of her famous senator uncle, and a handsome and charming college student falls in love with Rachel.

insightful look into Amish life

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 22 febbraio 2023

Acquisto verificato

I chose this book because I was hoping to learn more about Amish life. Living less than 100 miles from the Amish both in Indiana and Ohio, I have always been curious about their way of life. This book gave an insightful look into the lives of young and older in this community of Christian people. It was a little “teachy” at times but the storyline was good. It kept my attention and left me want to seek out book 2 in this series. It’s definitely worth the read.

Enjoyable!

I enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed all of the info I read about the Amish lifestyle and why they do/think as they do. I didn't mind that things seemed repetitive. Haven't you ever obsessed over something so much that it was on your mind all day, every day? The author emphasizes this turmoil that the main character was going through just as many people would. When I was little, I would obsess over wondering if my Mom would find out that I stole the cookie from the cookie jar instead of my brother when she told us not to eat any before supper. Or other things that we were told not to do, but we did it anyway. We hyped ourselves up. Rachel hyped herself up. She went over things in her head again and again and even with her friends and family members. I feel like that made this book relatable. The author drove home, in my mind, how we can all worry over things.

I felt that this book had plenty of excitement. Most "Englischer's" are so desensitized to everything today that this book may seem boring to many people, but I find this book to be refreshing. I didn't find it predictable. I'm not psychic or a mind reader and the book could have gone either way. She could have decided that she resonated more with an English lifestyle rather than the Amish. She could have decided that she preferred Nick over Samuel. I was grateful that I was able to read this book to my young daughter without worrying that she was going to be exposed to magic and/or sexual situations (As is the case with many books these days, even with children's books.). As a Christian family, if we had been put in a situation such as the one Rachel was in, where our family/friends weren't there and you have no witnesses other than the unscrupulous man that took the photos, who are your family and friends to believe? You or the picture? And then, there's the horror of, "What will happen when/if Samuel sees the photos of Rachel in such an intimate setting with Nick?" People draw their own conclusions and could possibly cause problems even if Rachel did nothing wrong.

I read the 1-3 star reviews and many people said that they thought the use of the following words were too many. Unless you are Amish, you can not for sure say whether or not they use the word "Wunderbaar" and "Gut" so often, but I imagine that if I were Amish, I WOULD be grateful and happy and feel like saying that things were gut or wunderbaar. In fact, I'm not Amish, but I say that things are wonderful and good SEVERAL times a day because that's how I feel about the situations in which I use these words. God is so good and I am grateful that he loves us enough to have sent his only son Jesus to teach us Gods ways. So I don't fault the author for presenting a realistic account of what could happen to an Amish girl when she's presented these situations.

The protests

Delightful insight into the lives of an Amish community.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 8 settembre 2017

Acquisto verificato

I wasn't sure when I started to read thus book whether I was going to find it interesting, but was happily surprised . I did find the repetitive going repeatedly over several times story of her Mothers sad demise a bit annoying.I wanted to delete it and say why are you going on and on over the same story line. Haven't said that, it was,a real insight into t ha Amish way of life and an insight into their beliefs. I liked the Biblical quotes dispersed throughout the story and was never sure until the end if she would abandon her life and fall for an outsider. I was also very confused about her use of English Man or Women when it was set in America. But it was a pleasant bedtime read that took my mind off personal problems . I recommend it to you and may get the next book in the series to see what happens to Judiths life?
