Kay's Comments: Love this book!! Love this author's writing! (See what she thinks of YOU in "About The Author" below.) I liked this book enough that I went out and bought another title by the same author. Enjoyed that one too!
The story flows back and forth from historical to contemporary. The blend of the two worlds, both Amish/English and History/Contemporary, sparks contemplation unique to this novel. This is one of the best of today's popular tales of Amish meets English.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Escape the helter-skelter
of the modern culture and join software creator Annie Friesen, hiding at the
home of an Amishman. With her high-tech career in jeopardy, Annie runs from
fast-paced Colorado Springs—and straight into the hospitality of San Luis
Valley’s Amish community. There she meets cabinetmaker Rufus Beiler, and the
more time she spends with him, the more attracted she becomes. When Annie finds
she shares a common ancestor with Rufus, she feels both cultures colliding
within her. But is her love for Rufus strong enough for her to give up the only
life she’s ever known?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
A Word From The Author:
I’m imagining you. You walk past as I water my front flowerbeds and we wave. You check the time as we both stand in a long line at the grocery store. You sit in front of me in church. I’m at my table in the coffee shop and you’re at yours.
We may smile politely and move on with our separate lives. Or one of us may speak, a simple invitation to conversation, and the words flow between us.
Here the adventure begins. When we meet someone new, we never know where it might lead.
I’ve been married for over thirty years and have two twenty-something kids. We live in stunning Colorado at the foot of the Rockies, where the day lilies in my back yard grow as tall as I am. (No short jokes, please.)
Not every piece of my life is pretty, though. Some days I want to throw out whole chunks. But I am living each day looking for the grace of God to me, in me, and through me. Having your companionship along the way will help uncover a lot of great stories.
