Review: A Short Amish Novella
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 15, 2013
I have read many of this author's Amish novellas and I think her writing improves as time goes on. This book is about a family with several girls of marrying age. Hannah was recently married (Amish Wedding). Clara goes off to the city to "find herself". Grace and Daniel are both seeking a husband.Grace's parents arrange a marriage with a young man from a local well-to-do Amish family. This part was a little confusing since I know the Amish live a simple life and money is not that important to them. In fact, being well-to-do could be considered prideful, which goes against the Amish ways.Grace rejects the prospective husband, so her sister Elizabeth goes out on a date with him and discovers he is not to her liking, either. Brother Daniel also lives at home, unmarried, and has to put up with his sister's constant bickering.The book presents a slightly different twist on the typical Amish romance. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Amish fiction.
