Hearts Adrift brought back fond memories of the Amish people I once had the privilege to know. The story and characters and the whole feeling you get while reading this wonderful story is authentically Amish.This book may bring a tear to your eye at times, so if you are the kind of person who is embarrassed when you become glassy eyed with emotion, than read this book when no one is watching.The characters come to life and we feel the soul searching and inner turmoil of one of the main characters as she is torn in two directions. Although Mary wants desperately to live in harmony with traditional Amish culture, she lives with a deep hunger for something more. She feels trapped in her life in the Amish community of Elkhart County. She likes the man who she is supposed to marry. Abram is a good man; a Christian man. And yet there is emptiness in her heart where happiness should live.Mary needs to do something desperate. She needs to break free. Unfortunately her quest for true love and happiness will also break Abram's heart. She is not sure what she is looking for but she is sure that she won't find it with Abram. She is unfortunately the owner of a romantic soul. She wants to be in love; not a relationship of convenience that will make everyone around her happy, but a real and passionate love.I highly recommend this book and I can't wait to get started on the next book in "The Amish of Lancaster County series."
