The Choice, the first in the “Secrets in Lancaster” series by Suzanne Woods Fisher
is about romance in an Amish community along with Englishers. This is an enjoyable
read with a love triangle and some hard times that work out for good. It is a story of
faith, mercy and forgiveness with several interesting characters and a bit of humor. As an Amish girl, Carry must choose to run off with Sol as he pursues a professional baseball career as a pitcher, an Amish boy who has not yet been baptized that she is in love with or stay and take care of her brother when her father dies, remaining faithful to the Amish ways. She wants him to stay but he does not want to miss his opportunity for more.
I particularly liked the way the author followed the lives of several different people and didn’t just focus all on the main character and her relationships. This book touches on many different aspects of Amish life and I look forward to reading others by this author.
This would be a good Book Club read and has discussion questions in the back. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys clean romances
or Amish stories. (I read this on my Kindle so no cat pictured, sorry!)
