A Road Unknown: Amish Roads | Book 1 Paperback Barbara Cameron (Author) 


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: This is an interesting story of an Amish girl that has no life of her own but to care for her many younger siblings. Even thought she does have a job at a local fabric store she must give all her money to her parents. She is not allow to have any kind of life outside of caring for her family even though she is at an age when most Amish young people attend singings and start to court.

 

With an English pen pal offers her a place to live in another state she takes the chance and leaves her family. It doesn't take her long to settle end but then her overbearing Grandma  makes contact with the local bishop. The bishop demands she return home. Find out what  Elizabeth decides to do. Interesting story line.
