Original Amish Novel

5 stars, Original Amish Novel AN UNEXPECTED AMISH CHRISTMAS By Rachel J. Good This novel is a well-done, original Amish novel. When you think of an Amish novel, you usually imagine lots of horses and buggies and large families. This book is not necessarily like that, but it is 100 percent an Amish fiction novel. Jeremiah Zook, a 25-year-old dairy farmer who has been severely injured in a horse and buggy accident is living in a rehab facility as he desperately tries to regain the mobility and independence that he possessed, before the accident. As part of his therapy, he begins writing to other Amish who have suffered a loss of a family member. He begins a pen pal relationship with Keturah Esch. Keturah Esch's family runs a baked pretzel shop in a local farmer's market mall. She and her three younger sisters are all at a loss, since their parents died in a buggy accident, throwing their young lives into turmoil. She receives an anonymous condolence letter from "A Friend" and Keturah feels that the author of the letter says the right things that speak directly to her heart. Keturah, at age 22 does not have time for courting, even if she did have someone who interested her. Her sisters, Lilliane,16, Rose, 12, and Maleah, 7 keep her busy between running the pretzel shop and keeping the younger two in school. She finds herself drawn to her mysterious pen pal, but also to Jeremiah who begins working in her shop. Keturah and Jeremiah find they have many things in common, besides both of them being Amish and having suffered the loss of both sets of parents. Highly recommended.
