The Return (Amish Beginnings) Paperback– August 1, 2017
by Suzanne Woods Fisher (Author)
Beautiful and winsome, Betsy Zook never questioned her family's rigid expectations, nor those of devoted Hans, but then she never had to. Not until the night when she's taken captive in a surprise Indian raid. During her captivity, Betsy faces brutality and hardship, but also unexpected kindness. She draws strength from native Caleb, who encourages her to find God in all circumstances. She finds herself torn between her pious upbringing and the intense new feelings this compelling man awakens within her.
Handsome and complex, Hans is greatly anguished by Betsy's captivity and turns to Tessa Bauer for comfort. Eagerly, Tessa responds, overlooking troubling signs of Hans's hunger for revenge. When Betsy is finally restored to the Amish, have things gone too far between Hans and Tessa?
Inspired by true events, this deeply layered novel gives a glimpse into the tumultuous days of prerevolutionary Pennsylvania through the eyes of two young, determined, and faith-filled women.

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book.It has some historical value of the Amish who first came over in settled in America. Some worked with the Native Americans and tried to show respect for them and their land. Others didn't care and tried to stir up issues which only caused more problems.
This story centered around two young ladies who were both in love with the same man. When the one he loves is taken captive by the Indians he is filled with rage. As time goes by the anger changes him. He begins to make plans to marry the other young woman when the other young finds her way back with the help of a Indian friend.
Read the book to find out what happens to the two young and the man they both love. I would recommend this book to all who enjoy reading Amish fiction.
