Kay's Comments: Update: Having read this book thoroughly ( and intend to more than once!) I have to say it is life changing for me. The title, while it fits in with the other titles in the series, leaves the reader totally clueless to the depth of this story. Truly, a fitting parable for us all.
ABOUT THE BOOK
New from bestselling authors Mindy Starns Clark and Susan Meissner, The Amish Groom (Book 1 in The Men of Lancaster County series) explores the men of an Amish community in Lancaster County, how their Amish beliefs play out in their unique roles, and the women who change their lives.
Born to an ex-Amish mother and an Englisch father, 23-year-old Tyler Anderson was raised as a military kid until the age of 6, when his mom passed away. His dad, shipping off to yet another overseas post, placed Tyler in the care of his Amish grandparents, an arrangement that was supposed to be temporary. It lasted a lifetime.
Rachel Hoeck is the young woman waiting for Tyler’s proposal. She senses that though he loves her and wishes to make a commitment to her and his Amish beliefs, part of him still wonders whether an Amish lifestyle is truly for him. When an opportunity to connect with his father unexpectedly arises, a visit to California causes Tyler to question everything, including a future with Rachel. Will the new girl in his life, Lark, cause him to remain in the Englisch world? Or will he choose to be an Amish groom after all?
A poignant novel of hoping for romance and searching for identity, set in a beloved Amish community.

Kay's Comments: Amish Fiction is quite popular now but how does a reader know which one to choose? The Amish Groom, told in first person, provides a unique perspective. Tyler Anderson was six years old when he is sent to live with his grandparents in Amish country. He is torn between his connection to the Englisch word and the Amish world. What is to be his ultimate world view?
This combination of authors is brilliant! To learn more about them, go to the current version of the free online magazine Christian Fiction Online Magazine at http://www.christianfictiononlinemagazine.com/
The authors are featured on the front cover.
All around interesting read!
