After losing her mother, Martha feels responsible for the care and happiness of her father. Grief stricken, Mark Zook moves his 16 year old daughter to a new community for a fresh start. This story is shared mainly through letters Martha shares with her best friend Annie, back in their old community in Elkhart.Martha's mother had been sickly for a long time, so Martha was not properly trained in the traditional roles of an Amish female. She knows how to do some sewing but her cooking is almost as bad as her father's.A neighbor family takes her under their wing to introduce her to this new community, as well as to teach her basic house skills. As fortune would have it, Martha is thrown into full scale Amish ways when the house she and her father live in burns to the ground.We are exposed to the ways of the Amish as we watch the rebuilding and the forming of new relationships.We also see that 16 year old girls have some of the same human traits regardless of the communities in which they are raised.
Amish living seems to be a little different, their relationships with each other have more meaning and closeness, etc. When the house fire happened, the Amish people were all helping to construct a new house. Everyone helped in one way or another, with preparing me a ls ore in building the house.
A must read for those who enjoy historical romance kindle books that keep you interested in unexpected ways that are sure to keep you interested in the unexpected events. I love the Amish Romance Books and enjoy historical stories that are sure to keep you interested from beginning to end.
I'm a huge Ruth Price fan, her writing style keeps you glued to the book until the last page. The sweet coming of age romances are never vulgar or unbelievable and the Christian values embedded in Price's books is refreshing.Transplanted from Elkhart, Indiana to Lancaster County, 16 year old Martha is consumed with getting back home and develops a plan. But then she meets Jebediah.
This was a nice read...started a little show, but sped up quickly. It was cool to see Martha struggle with forgiveness for Rebecca..made her less perfect...more human. It was a sweet story.
Great book. I usually don't like reading books that are just letters written back and forth but th ok s was a good read.
