I have tried reading Amish stories before and have always had a hard time getting into the story. It didn’t matter who the author was, it was always the same with every book. However, Plain Pursuit by Beth Wiseman had my attention from the very beginning. The story she tells, about faith, about learning to trust God, is something that people do struggle with daily. She gets the message across clearly in the book. The way she wrote about the Amish, it had me thinking I was right there in the story with them. I loved how Beth Wiseman included some of the Amish language in the book. The glossary of the words in the front of the book was a great idea! The recipes she included in the back has me wanting to cook the Amish favorites. It is just another level that Mrs. Wiseman gave you to make you feel like you are right there with the Amish. Absolutely wonderful! I very much look forward to reading more books by Beth Wiseman. I most definitely will go read the first book in this series.
