The Choice
January 25th, 2010. Filed under: Monday's Musings.The Choice
By Suzanne Woods Fisher
With a vibrant, fresh style Suzanne Woods Fisher brings readers into the world of a young Amish woman torn between following the man she loves–or joining the community of faith that sustains her, even as she questions some of the decisions of her elders. Her choice begins a torrent of change for her and her family, including a marriage of convenience to silent Daniel Miller. Both bring broken hearts into their arrangement–and secrets that have been held too long.
Filled with gentle romance, The Choice opens the world of the Amish–their strong communities, their simple life, and their willingness to put each other first. Combined with Fisher’s exceptional gift for character development, this novel, the first in a series, is a welcome reminder that it is never too late to find your way back to God.
ISLAND BREEZES
The Choice was certainly a good name for this book. Actually, there were a lot of choices for more than one character before getting to the major choice that Carrie had to make.
Will she decide to leave the Amish community and live among the English? This decision isn’t just a one time thing. It’t a decision that has to be made more than once over the years.
Love and heartbreak influence the decisions that are made in this book. Will any of these people figure out how to follow his or her heart? Stay tuned for some surprises along the way. This is the first book in the Lancaster County Secrets series. I’m looking forward to many more.
