It’s 1971, and Betsie Troyer’s peaceful and predictable life is about to become anything but.

When their parents flee the Amish, nineteen-year-old Betsie and her seventeen-year-old sister Sadie are distraught. Under the dubious guidance of a doting aunt, the girls struggle to keep the secret, praying their parents will return before anyone learns the truth—a truth that may end all hopes of Betsie’s marriage to Charley Yoder.

Worse still, Betsie must learn a trade while she boards with a dysfunctional Englisher family: Sheila, a twelve-year-old desperately searching for a friend and in dire need of her mother; the free-spirited mother, who runs off to "find herself" on the stage; the angry father whose structured life crumbles; and Michael, a troubled college dropout nearly killed in the Kent State Massacre.

Thrust into the English world, Betsie must grapple with the realities of war and miniskirts, pot parties and police brutality, protests and desertion. Can she help the Sullivan family and find peace in her new surroundings, or must she forget the bargain she made and seek refuge back in Plain City with protective and reliable Charley?

Hippies and the Amish???

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 agosto 2016

The Bargain is the first book in Plain City Peace series written by Stephanie Reed. This is the first book I have read by this author so I was a little hesitant as to what her writing style would be. Well I worried for no reason I loved the beginning of this series. This series is set back in the 70s withe the Viet Nam War going on, hippies, and of course peace signs! I was in high school during the 70s so I could relate to the descriptions given to one of the characters who is a hippie! Don't take that the wrong way he is a good hippie.

When Betsie Troyer strikes a bargain with her cousin, the owner of a leather shop, and her bishop she finds her self living with a somewhat different family than what she is use to. There is a workaholic father with a short temper, a mother who believes she is the next top actress, a hippie son who has problems related to the Kent State shootings, and a young girl who seems to be the most normal of all of them.

While Betsie spends the week days at the Englisher home so she can learn all she can about the harness shop she also helps out with the chores of the household. This is where Betsie befriends Sheila and starts teaching her how to do chores and cook. Betsie also befriends the hippie, Michael and he finds it funny to try to teach her how to use English phrases which gets her some strange looks. As this story progresses you will learn about the difficulties Betsie endures to make good on her bargain with her cousin. There is alot of laughs through out the story but there is sadness and a mystery going on too!

I was not given a complimentary copy of this book for review! I am submitting my honest review for a wonderful story written in a different way involving the Amish. If you're looking for a different story line but love the Amish genre then this is definitely the book for you! I have rated this book with five stars for a wonderful story that reminded me of my past. Congratulations on a great start to the series and I will be reading book 2 next.

I really enjoyed Book 1 and am looking forward to reading the next one.

I have read a lot of Amish books but nothing quite like this one. For a mom and dad to leave their home and family because they have accepted Jesus as their Savior was certainly something I had never read about before.
I love the characters in this story, they are fleshed out well. The story line keeps you guessing as to how it will end. An interesting read for sure.

The Bargain

This story is about broken families, hearts and lives that are going in different directions as one of the families is English and the other is an Amish family. The time frame is during the Vietnam War where words like PEACE were spoken repeatedly and clashes between law enforcement and people from the English occurred frequently. Betsie Troyer was brought up in an Amish home that now is falling apart as older siblings have married and moved away. The bigger problem in Betsie’s eyes is her parents leaving the Amish faith, moving to a new town and learning to live by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, discarding anything resembling being identified as people from the Amish community. However, to Betsie and her youngest sister Sadie, nothing but heartache follows them each moment of everyday.
Betsie works to learn a job in the leather store until her cousin Nathan returns from his time in the service while during the week Betsie is allowed to live with the family. There she learns a trade she doesn’t really embrace and sees firsthand how an English family is torn apart due to seeking satisfaction of self. When the mother leaves to fulfill her dreams, it rips apart the very heart of the family. Betsie feels compelled to stay if only for the benefit of the young daughter, Sadie, who is broken hearted. Matthew, her older brother, has some deep heart issues and while he tries to push away all attempts of friendship by Betsie, a letter comes in the mail for Matthew that further tears up the hearts of the father, Shelia and Betsie.
This is a very compelling story of various characters with broken hearts and lives, seeking to find peace in the midst of deep pain. Sadie’s character draws very close to Betsie and in time becomes a Christian, which bothers Betsie something fierce. Betsie has been raised to believe that one cannot know their eternal destination until after death. With all the turmoil going on in the small town and the lives of the two families, what comes to the forefront is where each character seeks to find solace.
This is a very interesting tale that continues in book two, The Bachelor, which came out this year. I will share with you my thoughts on that book as well. In the meantime, grab a copy and get lost in the pages of the book that to me was a very unique story I hadn’t encountered before in this genre.

Excellent non-typical Amish novel!!

Stephanie Reed has begun a winning new series, Plain City Peace, with The Bargain. It is not the typical Amish novel, for sure! I was surprised with many things not previously read about - it was a very worthwhile read.

As the 70's brought many changes to the US, it also rocked some of the Amish world. A few were drafted and served in non-combat positions, such as Betsie Troyer's cousin. The bargain included that Betsie would learn to work in and care for her cousin's harness shop until he returned from his tour of duty. She was taught the trade by the English man whose family had originally served the Amish for many years through this shop. His son, Michael, a troubled young man struggling to find his place in the brave new world of 1970's America. His sister Sheila also struggled as a young adult trying to find her way as a teen after here mother left the family to "find herself".

Betsie always knew that she would return home - home where her parents had left to seek - well, that will be a pleasant surprise for you! And she was probably going to return to the comfortable friendship with Charlie, who always looked out for her, she believed.

Characters are fully-developed, likable people who were each trying to find their way in an era where values changed dramatically through the hippie culture, Woodstock ideals, various peace and civil rights movements, and murders on college campuses horrified the first generation that would have such things brought into their homes on TV's nightly news. I truly enjoyed Betsie, Michael, and Sheila. I am probably most like Betsie, for whom any kind of change is difficult at best and try to continue to live in a yesterday that doesn't accept today's changes, good or not-so-good.

I highly recommend this novel to "older" young adults and adults of any age who appreciate good Amish fiction, and fiction from the Viet Nam era in Midwest US. The author has provided an excellent, non-typical look at a changing Amish community that is engaging with very strong characterizations and plot twists that keep the pages turning.
