Books, #2

Amazingly, I already finished another book.  This one was a quick read, and fit the bill for our monthly Book Club meeting next Tuesday.




Judith Graber has always been the obedient daughter. When her older brother Josh struggled with his love life, she offered wise counsel. When her younger brother Caleb flirted with the idea of leaving their order, she firmly told him he was wrong. Over the years, she’s watched her younger siblings, helped around the house, and worked in her family’s store during her spare time. Judith feels overworked, overlooked, and underappreciated this holiday season. 

But everything changes when her father hires Ben Knox.

I liked this book for the most part.  The only thing I struggled with was the speech.  Sometimes these modern day Amish, Mennonites, and englischers spoke in normal language, sometimes in german, and sometimes with a southern drawl.  And I kept trying to wrap my mind around reading a book about modern day Amish with the worrd Facebook and laptop in the story!
