Review - "The Choice" by Suzanne Woods Fisher


 Book Review - "The Choice"by Suzanne Woods Fisher.

 

"Lancaster County Secrets. To follow her heart, must she leave the community she loves?"


Ever wish you could secretly observe the life of the Amish? Ever wonder what makes them so peaceful and happy as a community? In "The Choice," by Suzanne Woods Fisher, you'll find all this and more.

Carrie Weaver is torn between the man she loves and her ties to the Amish community. We are drawn into her quiet world of rules, farm chores, church events and family happenings. I was intrigued from the first page. The story is fascinating, interesting and enjoyable.

The book's insight is unique in that the author, herself, has relatives from Old Order German Baptist Brethren, known as Dunkards. Suzanne's grandfather was one of the first publishers of Christianity Today.

Reading the book was a delight. I found it comforting, peaceful and educational. It is well written and a lovely story.



*Disclosure: I received this book for free from Revell through a tour with litFUSE, for review purposes.*

I picked this up from the library two days ago, and finished it in a few hours. I thought it was fantastic. Always nice to find a new Amish genre writer.
