I chose this book this summer to read while I was in the Seattle area~ just seemed fitting. Holly is the main character ~who is from Seattle ~discovers that her mother had been born and raised Amish. They return to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to meet family she never knew she had.
She suddenly questions all her goals and dreams in life when she is introduced to such a simple peaceful way of life~not to mention a handsome Mennonite vet~ who happens to sweep her off her feet. Then all the sudden a sweet Amish man shows up to compete for her attention. What could happen now? ~Well except on old "boy friend" shows up from Seattle declaring his love for her. How in the world could things get more complected?
All the while she learns all about her father who disappeared to never be seen again. And her mother has her own story of returning home. This book has many facets to keep you entertained for sure.
This book had many angles and at first was a little complicated. If you are a person who likes deep books~ this book is for you. I had a hard time keeping focused at first but once it captured my attention I could not put it down until I had finished it.
About the book~
Meeting the family that her mother had kept hidden from her, Holly comes face to face with her real life and blood legacy. She also falls for the charming Zach, a handsome Mennonite veterinarian who is everything she’s ever wanted in a husband: confident, kind, successful, and authentic. And Zach proposes marriage. Is this too soon? Is this the right choice? Mother and Amish grandmother think she’s rushing into too much of a lifestyle change. Holly is in love with Zach and that precludes everything. Until she meets an attractive Amish man. And an old suitor shows up.
Pennyslvania Patchwork is the moving, richly told story of one woman’s heart, her faith and trust, and the choices she makes. Never easy, but one choice can change your destiny.
