Publisher's Summary:
Beth is devastated to return to find her home practically burnt to the ground, although thankful to the group of Amish men and women who risked their lives to save a few of her possessions, as well as her cat. With no family of her own, and very little money saved, Beth is grateful to accept the help of the nearby Amish family who welcome her into their home.
The oldest son, Michael, is part of the Amish building team who have offered to help rebuild her home for as little a cost as possible. She grows closer to Michael and feels the love and generosity of the Amish community. The simplicity of life is something Beth finds appealing, though very different from the modern conveniences she is used to. When Beth is offered the job of a lifetime, she has to decide between becoming Amish or following her career.

An Okay Read
Beth lives on the edge of an Amish community, but sheâd never had much contact with them until her house burned to the ground. With no family and no place to go, her Amish neighbor takes her in. Claudia has a daughter and her oldest son living with her, and Michael manages to get the construction company he works for to build Beth a home at no cost to her. Just when Michael and she are becoming close and Beth wants to become Amish, she gets a call about working for the company of her dreams. She wants time to consider her options, but Michael doesnât take her dilemma well. Has her future happiness also gone up in smoke?
The short book has a number of mistakes. âWhilstâ is always use for âwhile,â no matter whose voice itâs in, even though the novel is contemporary. Thereâs a lot of head hopping. It used quotation marks around magazine titles instead of italicizing them. âOfâ was used for âoff,â and the sentence structure often seemed awkward. The Amish family prayed aloud before meals, and Michael spoke to God as he would a friend, but I thought the Amish said silent grace. I couldnât understand why the construction company build houses and buildings for anyone, but would only build Beth an Amish-style house with no electricity, etc. The book wasnât bad but nothing special.
Love has to be based on experiences and that takes ...
I could not put this book down, when you just think you have the plot her comes a curve in the road. Love has to be based on experiences and that takes time. I do appreciate the high morals that are upheld and enjoy reading of the Amish way of life. I enjoyed this short story and am looking forward to reading the next one. Thanks to the author again for her good job of writing.
