Book Review - A Road Unknown

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Elizabeth is at a crossroad. She's been given the chance to experience life outside of her community, away from the responsibility to care for her eight younger siblings, but Elizabeth Bontrager can't decide which road to take. Goshen has its charms and pressures, but Paradise, Pennsylvania, sounds . . . well, like paradise. And it's also home to her Englisch friend, Paula. Decision made. Elizabeth is Paradise bound.

But will the small town live up to its name? When Elizabeth meets Paula's friend, Bruce, she quickly learns he wants more than a friendship. And the same might be true of Saul Miller, her new boss at the country story that sells Amish products to the Englisch community. As the two compete for her attention, Elizabeth is surprised to realize she misses her family and becomes even more uncertain about where she belongs. She has a choice to make: return home or embrace this new life and possibly a new love?

MY REVIEW:

I really do enjoy a good Amish book and this one was different than any other I've read in that Elizabeth decides to leave her community and strike out on her own. She is tired of all the chores and things that are demanded of her and she thinks she'll find a more fulfilling life outside of her community and away from her family.

This book also combines more of the Amish and English ways and shows all the comparisons (even if it's not the author's intent) and I found this rather interesting, too. I really liked how Elizabeth realizes how much she misses her family yet she realizes that God has a special plan for her life.

I love a story I can get lost in and that makes me really care about the characters of the book. This book does that in a big way and I was sad when I finished the last page, even though the story itself was very satisfying! I really liked this story and I'm sure you will, too!
